Sonnet Xxvii Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABCDEFGHGH| See wither'd WINTER bending low his head | A |
| His ragged locks stiff with the hoary dew | B |
| His eyes like frozen lakes of livid hue | B |
| His train a sable cloud with murky red | A |
| Streak'd Ah behold his nitrous breathings shed | A |
| Petrific death Lean wailful Birds pursue | B |
| On as he sweeps o'er the dun lonely moor | C |
| Amid the battling blast of all the Winds | D |
| That while their sleet the climbing Sailor blinds | E |
| Lash the white surges to the sounding shore | F |
| So com'st thou WINTER finally to doom | G |
| The sinking year and with thy ice dropt sprays | H |
| Cypress and yew engarland her pale tomb | G |
| Her vanish'd hopes and aye departed days | H |
