Sonnet Xcviii Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBACDCDCD| Since my griev'd mind some energy regains | A |
| Industrious habits can at times repress | B |
| The weight of filial woe the deep distress | B |
| Of life long separation yet its pains | A |
| Oft do they throb along these fever'd veins | A |
| My rest has lost its balm the fond caress | B |
| Wont the dear aged forehead to impress | B |
| At midnight as he slept nor now obtains | A |
| My uprising the blest news that cou'd impart | C |
| Joy to the morning when its dawn had brought | D |
| Some health to that weak Frame o'er which my heart | C |
| With fearful fondness yearn'd and anxious thought | D |
| Time and the HOPE that robs the mortal Dart | C |
| Of its fell sting shall cheer me as they ought | D |
