The Massy Ways, Carried Across These Heights Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEFGHIJKKLKKMNLOJ DK| The massy Ways carried across these heights | A |
| By Roman perseverance are destroyed | B |
| Or hidden under ground like sleeping worms | C |
| How venture then to hope that Time will spare | D |
| This humble Walk Yet on the mountain's side | E |
| A Poet's hand first shaped it and the steps | F |
| Of that same Bard repeated to and fro | G |
| At morn at noon and under moonlight skies | H |
| Through the vicissitudes of many a year | I |
| Forbade the weeds to creep o'er its grey line | J |
| No longer scattering to the heedless winds | K |
| The vocal raptures of fresh poesy | K |
| Shall he frequent these precincts locked no more | L |
| In earnest converse with beloved Friends | K |
| Here will he gather stores of ready bliss | K |
| As from the beds and borders of a garden | M |
| Choice flowers are gathered But if Power may spring | N |
| Out of a farewell yearning favoured more | L |
| Than kindred wishes mated suitably | O |
| With vain regrets the Exile would consign | J |
| This Walk his loved possession to the care | D |
| Of those pure Minds that reverence the Muse | K |
