Soft As A Cloud Is Yon Blue Ridge Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABCBCCDDEE FFGGCCHH IICCGGG| Soft as a cloud is yon blue Ridge the Mere | A |
| Seems firm as solid crystal breathless clear | A |
| And motionless and to the gazer's eye | B |
| Deeper than ocean in the immensity | C |
| Of its vague mountains and unreal sky | B |
| But from the process in that still retreat | C |
| Turn to minuter changes at our feet | C |
| Observe how dewy Twilight has withdrawn | D |
| The crowd of daisies from the shaven lawn | D |
| And has restored to view its tender green | E |
| That while the sun rode high was lost beneath their dazzling sheen | E |
| - | |
| An emblem this of what the sober Hour | F |
| Can do for minds disposed to feel its power | F |
| Thus oft when we in vain have wished away | G |
| The petty pleasures of the garish day | G |
| Meek eve shuts up the whole usurping host | C |
| Unbashful dwarfs each glittering at his post | C |
| And leaves the disencumbered spirit free | H |
| To reassume a staid simplicity | H |
| - | |
| 'Tis well but what are helps of time and place | I |
| When wisdom stands in need of nature's grace | I |
| Why do good thoughts invoked or not descend | C |
| Like Angels from their bowers our virtues to befriend | C |
| If yet To morrow unbelied may say | G |
| I come to open out for fresh display | G |
| The elastic vanities of yesterday | G |
