The River Duddon - A Series Of Sonnets, 1820. - Viii - What Aspect Bore The Man Who Roved Or Fled Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBBBCBCCB| What aspect bore the Man who roved or fled | A |
| First of his tribe to this dark dell who first | B |
| In this pellucid Current slaked his thirst | B |
| What hopes came with him what designs were spread | A |
| Along his path His unprotected bed | A |
| What dreams encompassed Was the intruder nursed | B |
| In hideous usages and rites accursed | B |
| That thinned the living and disturbed the dead | B |
| No voice replies both air and earth are mute | B |
| And Thou blue Streamlet murmuring yield'st no more | C |
| Than a soft record that whatever fruit | B |
| Of ignorance thou might'st witness heretofore | C |
| Thy function was to heal and to restore | C |
| To soothe and cleanse not madden and pollute | B |
