Ecclesiastical Sonnets - Part Iii. - Xxxiii - Regrets Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBACDDCDC

Would that our scrupulous Sires had dared to leaveA
Less scanty measure of those graceful ritesB
And usages whose due return invitesB
A stir of mind too natural to deceiveA
Giving to Memory help when she would weaveA
A crown for Hope I dread the boasted lightsB
That all too often are but fiery blightsB
Killing the bud o'er which in vain we grieveA
Go seek when Christmas snows discomfort bringC
The counter Spirit found in some gay churchD
Green with fresh holly every pew a perchD
In which the linnet or the thrush might singC
Merry and loud and safe from prying searchD
Strains offered only to the genial SpringC

William Wordsworth
