Valedictory Sonnet To The River Duddon Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCAACCADEEDFD| I thought of Thee my partner and my guide | A |
| As being pass'd away Vain sympathies | B |
| For backward Duddon as I cast my eyes | C |
| I see what was and is and will abide | A |
| Still glides the Stream and shall for ever glide | A |
| The Form remains the Function never dies | C |
| While we the brave the mighty and the wise | C |
| We Men who in our morn of youth defied | A |
| The elements must vanish be it so | D |
| Enough if something from our hands have power | E |
| To live and act and serve the future hour | E |
| And if as toward the silent tomb we go | D |
| Through love through hope and faith's transcendent dower | F |
| We feel that we are greater than we know | D |
