Malham Cove Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBACBBADEFEDE| Was the aim frustrated by force or guile | A |
| When giants scooped from out the rocky ground | B |
| Tier under tier this semicirque profound | B |
| Giants the same who built in Erin's isle | A |
| That Causeway with incomparable toil | C |
| Oh had this vast theatric structure wound | B |
| With finished sweep into a perfect round | B |
| No mightier work had gained the plausive smile | A |
| Of all beholding Phoebus But alas | D |
| Vain earth false world Foundations must be laid | E |
| In Heaven for 'mid the wreck of IS and WAS | F |
| Things incomplete and purposes betrayed | E |
| Make sadder transits o'er thought's optic glass | D |
| Than noblest objects utterly decayed | E |
