Sonnet Lv. On The Quick Transition From Winter To Summer In The Year 1785 Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABABCDEFDF| Loud blew the North thro' April's pallid days | A |
| Nor grass the field nor leaves the grove obtains | B |
| Nor crystal sun beams nor the gilded rains | B |
| That bless the hours of promise gently raise | A |
| Warmth in the blood without that fiery blaze | A |
| Which makes it boil along the throbbing veins | B |
| Albion displeas'd her own lov'd Spring surveys | A |
| Passing with volant step o'er russet plains | B |
| Sees her to Summer's fierce embraces speed | C |
| Pale and unrobed Faithless thou well may'st hide | D |
| Close in his sultry breast thy recreant head | E |
| That did'st neglecting thy distinguish'd Isle | F |
| In Winter's icy arms so long abide | D |
| While Britain vainly languish'd for thy smile | F |
