Sonnet Xli. Invitation To A Friend Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAACCADEDEDE F| Since dark December shrouds the transient day | A |
| And stormy Winds are howling in their ire | B |
| Why com'st not THOU who always can'st inspire | B |
| The soul of cheerfulness and best array | A |
| A sullen hour in smiles O haste to pay | A |
| The cordial visit sullen hours require | C |
| Around the circling walls a glowing fire | C |
| Shines but it vainly shines in this delay | A |
| To blend thy spirit's warm Promethean light | D |
| Come then at Science' and at Friendship's call | E |
| Their vow'd Disciple come for they invite | D |
| The social Powers without thee languish all | E |
| Come that I may not hear the winds of Night | D |
| Nor count the heavy eave drops as they fall | E |
