Memorials Of A Tour In Italy, 1837 - Xxiii. - Among The Ruins Of A Convent In The Apennines Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCCDDEE FFGHHGII| Ye Trees whose slender roots entwine | A |
| Altars that piety neglects | B |
| Whose infant arms enclasp the shrine | A |
| Which no devotion now respects | B |
| If not a straggler from the herd | C |
| Here ruminate nor shrouded bird | C |
| Chanting her low voiced hymn take pride | D |
| In aught that ye would grace or hide | D |
| How sadly is your love misplaced | E |
| Fair Trees your bounty run to waste | E |
| - | |
| Ye too wild Flowers that no one heeds | F |
| And ye full often spurned as weeds | F |
| In beauty clothed or breathing sweetness | G |
| From fractured arch and mouldering wall | H |
| Do but more touchingly recall | H |
| Man's headstrong violence and Time's fleetness | G |
| Making the precincts ye adorn | I |
| Appear to sight still more forlorn | I |
William Wordsworth
