Proud Were Ye, Mountains, When, In Times Of Old Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCACACADEEDED| Proud were ye Mountains when in times of old | A |
| Your patriot sons to stem invasive war | B |
| Intrenched your brows ye gloried in each scar | C |
| Now for your shame a Power the Thirst of Gold | A |
| That rules o'er Britain like a baneful star | C |
| Wills that your peace your beauty shall be sold | A |
| And clear way made for her triumphal car | C |
| Through the beloved retreats your arms enfold | A |
| Heard Ye that Whistle As her long linked Train | D |
| Swept onwards did the vision cross your view | E |
| Yes ye were startled and in balance true | E |
| Weighing the mischief with the promised gain | D |
| Mountains and Vales and Floods I call on you | E |
| To share the passion of a just disdain | D |
William Wordsworth
