Sonnet Xxxi. To The Departing Spirit Of An Alienated Friend Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABCBDEFEFE| O EVER DEAR thy precious vital powers | A |
| Sink rapidly the long and dreary Night | B |
| Brings scarce an hope that Morn's returning light | B |
| Shall dawn for THEE In such terrific hours | A |
| When yearning Fondness eagerly devours | A |
| Each moment of protracted life his flight | B |
| The Rashly Chosen of thy heart has ta'en | C |
| Where dances songs and theatres invite | B |
| EXPIRING SWEETNESS with indignant pain | D |
| I see him in the scenes where laughing glide | E |
| Pleasure's light Forms see his eyes gaily glow | F |
| Regardless of thy life's fast ebbing tide | E |
| I hear him who shou'd droop in silent woe | F |
| Declaim on Actors and on Taste decide | E |
