Fancy And Tradition Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBCDEFDFGThe Lovers took within this ancient grove | A |
Their last embrace beside those crystal springs | B |
The Hermit saw the Angel spread his wings | B |
For instant flight the Sage in yon alcove | A |
Sate musing on that hill the Bard would rove | A |
Not mute where now the linnet only sings | B |
Thus everywhere to truth Tradition clings | B |
Or Fancy localises Powers we love | C |
Were only History licensed to take note | D |
Of things gone by her meagre monuments | E |
Would ill suffice for persons and events | F |
There is an ampler page for man to quote | D |
A readier book of manifold contents | F |
Studied alike in palace and in cot | G |
