Sonnet Ii Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBACDCDEF| The Future and its gifts alone we prize | A |
| Few joys the Present brings and those alloy'd | B |
| Th' expected fulness leaves an aching void | B |
| But HOPE stands by and lifts her sunny eyes | A |
| That gild the days to come She still relies | A |
| The Phantom HAPPINESS not thus shall glide | B |
| Always from life Alas yet ill betide | B |
| Austere Experience when she coldly tries | A |
| In distant roses to discern the thorn | C |
| Ah is it wise to anticipate our pain | D |
| Arriv'd it then is soon enough to mourn | C |
| Nor call the dear Consoler false and vain | D |
| When yet again shining through april tears | E |
| Those fair enlight'ning eyes beam on advancing Years | F |
