Sonnet Xlviii. Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAACDAEFEFEF| Now young ey'd Spring on gentle breezes borne | A |
| 'Mid the deep woodlands hills and vales and bowers | B |
| Unfolds her leaves her blossoms and her flowers | B |
| Pouring their soft luxuriance on the morn | A |
| O how unlike the wither'd wan forlorn | A |
| And limping Winter that o'er russet moors | C |
| Grey ridgy fields and ice incrusted shores | D |
| Strays and commands his rising Winds to mourn | A |
| Protracted Life thou art ordain'd to wear | E |
| A form like his and shou'd thy gifts be mine | F |
| I tremble lest a kindred influence drear | E |
| Steal on my mind but pious Hope benign | F |
| The Soul's bright day spring shall avert the fear | E |
| And gild Existence in her dim decline | F |
