Sonnet Lxiii. To Colebrooke Dale Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBACBBADEDEFF| Thy GENIUS Colebrooke faithless to his charge | A |
| Amid thy woods and vales thy rocks and streams | B |
| Form'd for the Train that haunt poetic dreams | B |
| Naiads and Nymphs now hears the toiling Barge | A |
| And the swart Cyclops ever clanging forge | C |
| Din in thy dells permits the dark red gleams | B |
| From umber'd fires on all thy hills the beams | B |
| Solar and pure to shroud with columns large | A |
| Of black sulphureous smoke that spread their veils | D |
| Like funeral crape upon the sylvan robe | E |
| Of thy romantic rocks pollute thy gales | D |
| And stain thy glassy floods while o'er the globe | E |
| To spread thy stores metallic this rude yell | F |
| Drowns the wild woodland song and breaks the Poet's spell | F |
