Sonnet Xx. On Reading A Description Of Pope's Gardens At Twickenham Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABABCCDCDE| Ah might I range each hallow'd bower and glade | A |
| Mus us cultur'd many a raptur'd sigh | B |
| Wou'd that dear local consciousness supply | B |
| Beneath his willow in the grotto's shade | A |
| Whose roof his hand with ores and shells inlaid | A |
| How sweet to watch with reverential eye | B |
| Thro' the sparr'd arch the streams he oft survey'd | A |
| Thine blue Tham sis gently wandering by | B |
| This is the POET's triumph and it towers | C |
| O'er Life's pale ills his consciousness of powers | C |
| That lift his memory from Oblivion's gloom | D |
| Secure a train of these heart thrilling hours | C |
| By his idea deck'd in rapture's bloom | D |
| For Spirits rightly touch'd thro' ages yet to come | E |
