To The Same (john Dyer) Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCAADAEFGAHIAJFAFKL FMAFNFAFOPQRFSTAAUVF RFWXFYFWQFF| ENOUGH of climbing toil Ambition treads | A |
| Here as 'mid busier scenes ground steep and rough | B |
| Or slippery even to peril and each step | C |
| As we for most uncertain recompence | A |
| Mount toward the empire of the fickle clouds | A |
| Each weary step dwarfing the world below | D |
| Induces for its old familiar sights | A |
| Unacceptable feelings of contempt | E |
| With wonder mixed that Man could e'er be tied | F |
| In anxious bondage to such nice array | G |
| And formal fellowship of petty things | A |
| Oh 'tis the 'heart' that magnifies this life | H |
| Making a truth and beauty of her own | I |
| And moss grown alleys circumscribing shades | A |
| And gurgling rills assist her in the work | J |
| More efficaciously than realms outspread | F |
| As in a map before the adventurer's gaze | A |
| Ocean and Earth contending for regard | F |
| The umbrageous woods are left how far beneath | K |
| But lo where darkness seems to guard the mouth | L |
| Of yon wild cave whose jagged brows are fringed | F |
| With flaccid threads of ivy in the still | M |
| And sultry air depending motionless | A |
| Yet cool the space within and not uncheered | F |
| As whoso enters shall ere long perceive | N |
| By stealthy influx of the timid day | F |
| Mingling with night such twilight to compose | A |
| As Numa loved when in the Egerian grot | F |
| From the sage Nymph appearing at his wish | O |
| He gained whate'er a regal mind might ask | P |
| Or need of counsel breathed through lips divine | Q |
| Long as the heat shall rage let that dim cave | R |
| Protect us there deciphering as we may | F |
| Diluvian records or the sighs of Earth | S |
| Interpreting or counting for old Time | T |
| His minutes by reiterated drops | A |
| Audible tears from some invisible source | A |
| That deepens upon fancy more and more | U |
| Drawn toward the centre whence those sighs creep forth | V |
| To awe the lightness of humanity | F |
| Or shutting up thyself within thyself | R |
| There let me see thee sink into a mood | F |
| Of gentler thought protracted till thine eye | W |
| Be calm as water when the winds are gone | X |
| And no one can tell whither Dearest Friend | F |
| We two have known such happy hours together | Y |
| That were power granted to replace them fetched | F |
| From out the pensive shadows where they lie | W |
| In the first warmth of their original sunshine | Q |
| Loth should I be to use it passing sweet | F |
| Are the domains of tender memory | F |
