Gordale Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBACDDCCD| At early dawn or rather when the air | A |
| Glimmers with fading light and shadowy Eve | B |
| Is busiest to confer and to bereave | B |
| Then pensive Votary let thy feet repair | A |
| To Gordale chasm terrific as the lair | A |
| Where the young lions couch for so by leave | B |
| Of the propitious hour thou may'st perceive | B |
| The local Deity with oozy hair | A |
| And mineral crown beside his jagged urn | C |
| Recumbent Him thou may'st behold who hides | D |
| His lineaments by day yet there presides | D |
| Teaching the docile waters how to turn | C |
| Or if need be impediment to spurn | C |
| And force their passage to the salt see tides | D |
William Wordsworth
