When I Have Borne In Memory Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCAABBADEFEDFWHEN I have borne in memory what has tamed | A |
Great Nations how ennobling thoughts depart | B |
When men change swords for ledgers and desert | C |
The student's bower for gold some fears unnamed | A |
I had my Country am I to be blamed | A |
Now when I think of thee and what thou art | B |
Verily in the bottom of my heart | B |
Of those unfilial fears I am ashamed | A |
For dearly must we prize thee we who find | D |
In thee a bulwark for the cause of men | E |
And I by my affection was beguiled | F |
What wonder if a Poet now and then | E |
Among the many movements of his mind | D |
Felt for thee as a lover or a child | F |
William Wordsworth
