Thought Of A Briton On The Sunjugation Of Switzerland Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAACCADDAEEATwo Voices are there one is of the sea | A |
One of the mountains each a mighty Voice | B |
In both from age to age thou didst rejoice | B |
They were thy chosen music Liberty | A |
There came a Tyrant and with holy glee | A |
Thou fought'st against him but hast vainly striven | C |
Thou from thy Alpine holds at length art driven | C |
Where not a torrent murmurs heard by thee | A |
Of one deep bliss thine ear hath been bereft | D |
Then cleave O cleave to that which still is left | D |
For high souled Maid what sorrow would it be | A |
That Mountain floods should thunder as before | E |
And Ocean bellow from his rocky shore | E |
And neither awful Voice be heard by thee | A |
William Wordsworth
