Rhyme Scheme: AABAAB CCDEED FFGAAG HHIJJJ BBKAAK JJLKKL AABMMB NNAAAA OOJKKJ PQAAAADeparting summer hath assumed | A |
An aspect tenderly illumed | A |
The gentlest look of spring | B |
That calls from yonder leafy shade | A |
Unfaded yet prepared to fade | A |
A timely carolling | B |
- | |
No faint and hesitating trill | C |
Such tribute as to winter chill | C |
The lonely redbreast pays | D |
Clear loud and lively is the din | E |
From social warblers gathering in | E |
Their harvest of sweet lays | D |
- | |
Nor doth the example fail to cheer | F |
Me conscious that my leaf is sere | F |
And yellow on the bough | G |
Fall rosy garlands from my head | A |
Ye myrtle wreaths your fragrance shed | A |
Around a younger brow | G |
- | |
Yet will I temperately rejoice | H |
Wide is the range and free the choice | H |
Of undiscordant themes | I |
Which haply kindred souls may prize | J |
Not less than vernal ecstasies | J |
And passion's feverish dreams | J |
- | |
For deathless powers to verse belong | B |
And they like Demi gods are strong | B |
On whom the Muses smile | K |
But some their function have disclaimed | A |
Best pleased with what is aptliest framed | A |
To enervate and defile | K |
- | |
Not such the initiatory strains | J |
Committed to the silent plains | J |
In Britain's earliest dawn | L |
Trembled the groves the stars grew pale | K |
While all too daringly the veil | K |
Of nature was withdrawn | L |
- | |
Nor such the spirit stirring note | A |
When the live chords Alc us smote | A |
Inflamed by sense of wrong | B |
Woe woe to Tyrants from the lyre | M |
Broke threateningly in sparkles dire | M |
Of fierce vindictive song | B |
- | |
And not unhallowed was the page | N |
By wing egrave d Love inscribed to assuage | N |
The pangs of vain pursuit | A |
Love listening while the Lesbian Maid | A |
With finest touch of passion swayed | A |
Her own olian lute | A |
- | |
O ye who patiently explore | O |
The wreck of Herculanean lore | O |
What rapture could ye seize | J |
Some Theban fragment or unroll | K |
One precious tender hearted scroll | K |
Of pure Simonides | J |
- | |
That were indeed a genuine birth | P |
Of poesy a bursting forth | Q |
Of genius from the dust | A |
What Horace gloried to behold | A |
What Maro loved shall we enfold | A |
Can haughty Time be just | A |
William Wordsworth
