When I Have Borne In Memory Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: ABCAABBADEFEDF

WHEN I have borne in memory what has tamedA
Great Nations how ennobling thoughts departB
When men change swords for ledgers and desertC
The student's bower for gold some fears unnamedA
I had my Country am I to be blamedA
Now when I think of thee and what thou artB
Verily in the bottom of my heartB
Of those unfilial fears I am ashamedA
For dearly must we prize thee we who findD
In thee a bulwark for the cause of menE
And I by my affection was beguiledF
What wonder if a Poet now and thenE
Among the many movements of his mindD
Felt for thee as a lover or a childF

William Wordsworth
