Sonnet Lvii. Written The Night Preceding The [1]funeral Of Mrs. Charles Buckeridge Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBABBCADDEDED F| In the chill silence of the winter eve | A |
| Thro' Lichfield's darken'd streets I bend my way | B |
| By that sad mansion where NERINA's Clay | B |
| Awaits the MORNING KNELL and awed perceive | A |
| In the late bridal chamber the clear ray | B |
| Of numerous lights while o'er the ceiling stray | B |
| Shadows of those who frequent pass beneath | C |
| Round the PALE DEAD What sounds my senses grieve | A |
| For now the busy hammer's stroke appals | D |
| That in dread note of preparation falls | D |
| Closing the sable lid With sighs I bear | E |
| These solemn warnings from the House of Woes | D |
| Pondering how late for young NERINA there | E |
| Joyous the Love illumin'd Morn arose | D |
| - | |
| In Lichfield Cathedral the funeral rites are performed early in the Morning | F |
