Sonnet Lii Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABABCDEFEF G| Long has the pall of Midnight quench'd the scene | A |
| And wrapt the hush'd horizon All around | B |
| In scatter'd huts Labor in sleep profound | B |
| Lies stretch'd and rosy Innocence serene | A |
| Slumbers but creeps with pale and starting mien | A |
| Benighted SUPERSTITION Fancy found | B |
| The late self slaughter'd Man in earth yet green | A |
| And festering burst from his incumbent mound | B |
| Roams and the Slave of Terror thinks he hears | C |
| A mutter'd groan sees the sunk eye that glares | D |
| As shoots the Meteor But no more forlorn | E |
| He strays the Spectre sinks into his tomb | F |
| For now the jocund Herald of the Morn | E |
| Claps his bold wings and sounds along the gloom | F |
| - | |
| It faded at the crowing of the cock HAMLET | G |
