On The Frith Of Clyde - In A Steamboat Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBACDDDDD| Arran a single crested Teneriffe | A |
| A St Helena next in shape and hue | B |
| Varying her crowded peaks and ridges blue | B |
| Who but must covet a cloud seat or skiff | A |
| Built for the air or winged Hippogriff | A |
| That he might fly where no one could pursue | B |
| From this dull Monster and her sooty crew | B |
| And as a God light on thy topmost cliff | A |
| Impotent wish which reason would despise | C |
| If the mind knew no union of extremes | D |
| No natural bond between the boldest schemes | D |
| Ambition frames and heart humilities | D |
| Beneath stern mountains many a soft vale lies | D |
| And lofty springs give birth to lowly streams | D |
William Wordsworth
