Written With A Slate Pencil On A Stone, On The Side Of The Mountain Of Black Comb Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEFBGHIJKLMNOPQBR SBTLLUVBC| Stay bold Adventurer rest awhile thy limbs | A |
| On this commodious Seat for much remains | B |
| Of hard ascent before thou reach the top | C |
| Of this huge Eminence from blackness named | D |
| And to far travelled storms of sea and land | E |
| A favourite spot of tournament and war | F |
| But thee may no such boisterous visitants | B |
| Molest may gentle breezes fan thy brow | G |
| And neither cloud conceal nor misty air | H |
| Bedim the grand terraqueous spectacle | I |
| From centre to circumference unveiled | J |
| Know if thou grudge not to prolong thy rest | K |
| That on the summit whither thou art bound | L |
| A geographic Labourer pitched his tent | M |
| With books supplied and instruments of art | N |
| To measure height and distance lonely task | O |
| Week after week pursued To him was given | P |
| Full many a glimpse but sparingly bestowed | Q |
| On timid man of Nature's processes | B |
| Upon the exalted hills He made report | R |
| That once while there he plied his studious work | S |
| Within that canvas Dwelling colours lines | B |
| And the whole surface of the out spread map | T |
| Became invisible for all around | L |
| Had darkness fallen unthreatened unproclaimed | L |
| As if the golden day itself had been | U |
| Extinguished in a moment total gloom | V |
| In which he sate alone with unclosed eyes | B |
| Upon the blinded mountain's silent top | C |
