The Haunted Tree Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEFGHIJKKLMNKOKPK KKOKKKKKQKRFSOKTUOVW| Those silver clouds collected round the sun | A |
| His mid day warmth abate not seeming less | B |
| To overshade than multiply his beams | C |
| By soft reflection grateful to the sky | D |
| To rocks fields woods Nor doth our human sense | E |
| Ask for its pleasure screen or canopy | F |
| More ample than the time dismantled Oak | G |
| Spreads o'er this tuft of heath which now attired | H |
| In the whole fulness of its bloom affords | I |
| Couch beautiful as e'er for earthly use | J |
| Was fashioned whether by the hand of Art | K |
| That eastern Sultan amid flowers enwrought | K |
| On silken tissue might diffuse his limbs | L |
| In languor or by Nature for repose | M |
| Of panting Wood nymph wearied with the chase | N |
| O Lady fairer in thy Poet's sight | K |
| Than fairest spiritual creature of the groves | O |
| Approach and thus invited crown with rest | K |
| The noon tide hour though truly some there are | P |
| Whose footsteps superstitiously avoid | K |
| This venerable Tree for when the wind | K |
| Blows keenly it sends forth a creaking sound | K |
| Above the general roar of woods and crags | O |
| Distinctly heard from far a doleful note | K |
| As if so Grecian shepherds would have deemed | K |
| The Hamadryad pent within bewailed | K |
| Some bitter wrong Nor is it unbelieved | K |
| By ruder fancy that a troubled ghost | K |
| Haunts the old trunk lamenting deeds of which | Q |
| The flowery ground is conscious But no wind | K |
| Sweeps now along this elevated ridge | R |
| Not even a zephyr stirs the obnoxious Tree | F |
| Is mute and in his silence would look down | S |
| O lovely Wanderer of the trackless hills | O |
| On thy reclining form with more delight | K |
| Than his coevals in the sheltered vale | T |
| Seem to participate the while they view | U |
| Their own far stretching arms and leafy heads | O |
| Vividly pictured in some glassy pool | V |
| That for a brief space checks the hurrying stream | W |
