Composed Near Calais, On The Road Leading To Ardres, August 7, 1802 Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBCADDAEFFGFG| Jones as from Calais southward you and I | A |
| Went pacing side by side this public Way | B |
| Streamed with the pomp of a too credulous day | B |
| When faith was pledged to new born Liberty | C |
| A homeless sound of joy was in the sky | A |
| From hour to hour the antiquated Earth | D |
| Beat like the heart of Man songs garlands mirth | D |
| Banners and happy faces far and nigh | A |
| And now sole register that these things were | E |
| Two solitary greetings have I heard | F |
| Good morrow Citizen a hollow word | F |
| As if a dead man spake it Yet despair | G |
| Touches me not though pensive as a bird | F |
| Whose vernal coverts winter hath laid bare | G |
