Sonnet Xi Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBCCBBCDEEEEE| How sweet to rove from summer sun beams veil'd | A |
| In gloomy dingles or to trace the tide | B |
| Of wandering brooks their pebbly beds that chide | B |
| To feel the west wind cool refreshment yield | C |
| That comes soft creeping o'er the flowery field | C |
| And shadow'd waters in whose bushy side | B |
| The Mountain Bees their fragrant treasure hide | B |
| Murmuring and sings the lonely Thrush conceal'd | C |
| Then Ceremony in thy gilded halls | D |
| Where forc'd and frivolous the themes arise | E |
| With bow and smile unmeaning O how palls | E |
| At thee and thine my sense how oft it sighs | E |
| For leisure wood lanes dells and water falls | E |
| And feels th' untemper'd heat of sultry skies | E |
