Retirement Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBACDDEEC| If the whole weight of what we think and feel | A |
| Save only far as thought and feeling blend | B |
| With action were as nothing patriot Friend | B |
| From thy remonstrance would be no appeal | A |
| But to promote and fortify the weal | A |
| Of our own Being is her paramount end | B |
| A truth which they alone shall comprehend | B |
| Who shun the mischief which they cannot heal | A |
| Peace in these feverish times is sovereign bliss | C |
| Here with no thirst but what the stream can slake | D |
| And startled only by the rustling brake | D |
| Cool air I breathe while the unincumbered Mind | E |
| By some weak aims at services assigned | E |
| To gentle Natures thanks not Heaven amiss | C |
William Wordsworth
