Sonnet Xxxiv Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBACDDDDD E| When Death or adverse Fortune's ruthless gale | A |
| Tears our best hopes away the wounded Heart | B |
| Exhausted leans on all that can impart | B |
| The charm of Sympathy her mutual wail | A |
| How soothing never can her warm tears fail | A |
| To balm our bleeding grief's severest smart | B |
| Nor wholly vain feign'd Pity's solemn art | B |
| Tho' we should penetrate her sable veil | A |
| Concern e'en known to be assum'd our pains | C |
| Respecting kinder welcome far acquires | D |
| Than cold Neglect or Mirth that Grief profanes | D |
| Thus each faint Glow worm of the Night conspires | D |
| Gleaming along the moss'd and darken'd lanes | D |
| To cheer the Gloom with her unreal fires | D |
