Sonnet Xv. Written On Rising Ground Near Lichfield Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBACDDDDD E| The evening shines in May's luxuriant pride | A |
| And all the sunny hills at distance glow | B |
| And all the brooks that thro' the valley flow | B |
| Seem liquid gold O had my fate denied | A |
| Leisure and power to taste the sweets that glide | A |
| Thro' waken'd minds as the soft seasons go | B |
| On their still varying progress for the woe | B |
| My heart has felt what balm had been supplied | A |
| But where great NATURE smiles as here she smiles | C |
| 'Mid verdant vales and gently swelling hills | D |
| And glassy lakes and mazy murmuring rills | D |
| And narrow wood wild lanes her spell beguiles | D |
| Th' impatient sighs of Grief and reconciles | D |
| Poetic Minds to Life with all her ills | D |

| May | E |
