Sonnet Xlvi Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCAACCADEFEGG| Dark as the silent stream beneath the night | A |
| Thy funeral glides to Life's eternal home | B |
| Child of its narrow house how late the bloom | C |
| The facile smile the soft eye's crystal light | A |
| Each grace of Youth's gay morn that charms our sight | A |
| Play'd o'er that Form now sunk in Death's cold gloom | C |
| Insensate ghastly for the yawning tomb | C |
| Alas fit Inmate Thus we mourn the blight | A |
| Of Virgin Beauty and endowments rare | D |
| In their glad hours of promise O when Age | E |
| Drops like the o'er blown faded rose tho' dear | F |
| Its long known worth no stormy sorrows rage | E |
| But swell when we behold unsoil'd by time | G |
| Youth's broken Lily perished in its prime | G |
