Filial Piety - On The Wayside Between Preston And Liverpool Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCAADCAEFFEFF| Untouched through all severity of cold | A |
| Inviolate whate'er the cottage hearth | B |
| Might need for comfort or for festal mirth | C |
| That Pile of Turf is half a century old | A |
| Yes Traveler fifty winters have been told | A |
| Since suddenly the dart of death went forth | D |
| 'Gainst him who raised it his last work on earth | C |
| Thence has it with the Son so strong a hold | A |
| Upon his Father's memory that his hands | E |
| Through reverence touch it only to repair | F |
| Its waste Though crumbling with each breath of air | F |
| In annual renovation thus it stands | E |
| Rude Mausoleum but wrens nestle there | F |
| And red breasts warble when sweet sounds are rare | F |
