Inscriptions For The Spot Where The Hermitage Stood On St. Herbert's Island, Derwentwater. Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOOPKOO QOROOOK| If thou in the dear love of some one Friend | A |
| Hast been so happy that thou know'st what thoughts | B |
| Will sometimes in the happiness of love | C |
| Make the heart sink then wilt thou reverence | D |
| This quiet spot and Stranger not unmoved | E |
| Wilt thou behold this shapeless heap of stones | F |
| The desolate ruins of St Herbert's Cell | G |
| Here stood his threshold here was spread the roof | H |
| That sheltered him a self secluded Man | I |
| After long exercise in social cares | J |
| And offices humane intent to adore | K |
| The Deity with undistracted mind | L |
| And meditate on everlasting things | M |
| In utter solitude But he had left | N |
| A Fellow labourer whom the good Man loved | O |
| As his own soul And when with eye upraised | O |
| To heaven he knelt before the crucifix | P |
| While o'er the lake the cataract of Lodore | K |
| Pealed to his orisons and when he paced | O |
| Along the beach of this small isle and thought | O |
| Of his Companion he would pray that both | Q |
| Now that their earthly duties were fulfilled | O |
| Might die in the same moment Nor in vain | R |
| So prayed he as our chronicles report | O |
| Though here the Hermit numbered his last day | O |
| Far from St Cuthbert his beloved Friend | O |
| Those holy Men both died in the same hour | K |
