Sonnet Xiii Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBACBDDEFFGAA H| Thou child of NIGHT and SILENCE balmy SLEEP | A |
| Shed thy soft poppies on my aching brow | B |
| And charm to rest the thoughts of whence or how | B |
| Vanish'd that priz'd AFFECTION wont to keep | A |
| Each grief of mine from rankling into woe | C |
| Then stern Misfortune from her bended bow | B |
| Loos'd the dire strings and Care and anxious Dread | D |
| From my cheer'd heart on sullen pinion fled | D |
| But now the spell dissolv'd th' Enchantress gone | E |
| Ceaseless those cruel Fiends infest my day | F |
| And sunny hours but light them to their prey | F |
| Then welcome Midnight shades when thy wish'd boon | G |
| May in oblivious dews my eye lids steep | A |
| THOU CHILD OF NIGHT AND SILENCE BALMY SLEEP | A |
