The Brownie Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: ABCADEEFGHIGIH

How disappeared he Ask the newt and toadA
Ask of his fellow men and they will tellB
How he was found cold as an icicleC
Under an arch of that forlorn abodeA
Where he unpropped and by the gathering floodD
Of years hemmed round had dwelt prepared to tryE
Privation's worst extremities and dieE
With no one near save the omnipresent GodF
Verily so to live was an awful choiceG
A choice that wears the aspect of a doomH
But in the mould of mercy all is castI
For Souls familiar with the eternal VoiceG
And this forgotten Taper to the lastI
Drove from itself we trust all frightful gloomH

William Wordsworth
