Hint From The Mountains For Certain Political Pretenders Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: ABABCCDB EFEEEEEE A GHIHEEEH ACACJJJC

Who but hails the sight with pleasureA
When the wings of genius riseB
Their ability to measureA
With great enterpriseB
But in man was ne'er such daringC
As yon Hawk exhibits pairingC
His brave spirit with the war inD
The stormy skiesB
-
Mark him how his power he usesE
Lays it by at will resumesF
Mark ere for his haunt he choosesE
Clouds and utter gloomsE
There he wheels in downward mazesE
Sunward now his flight he raisesE
Catches fire as seems and blazesE
With uninjured plumesE
-
ANSWERA
-
Stranger 'tis no act of courageG
Which aloft thou dost discernH
No bold 'bird' gone forth to forageI
'Mid the tempest sternH
But such mockery as the nationsE
See when public perturbationsE
Lift men from their native stationsE
Like yon TUFT OF FERNH
-
Such it is the aspiring creatureA
Soaring on undaunted wingC
So you fancied is by natureA
A dull helpless thingC
Dry and withered light and yellowJ
'That' to be the tempest's fellowJ
Wait and you shall see how hollowJ
Its endeavouringC

William Wordsworth
