Sonnet Xxxix. Winter Evening Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAACDAEFEFEF G| When mourn the dark Winds o'er the lonely plain | A |
| And from pale noon sinks ere the fifth cold hour | B |
| The transient light Imagination's power | B |
| With Knowledge and with Science in her train | A |
| Not unpropitious Hyems' icy reign | A |
| Perceives since in the deep and silent lour | C |
| High themes the rapt concent'ring Thoughts explore | D |
| Freed from external Pleasure's glittering chain | A |
| Then most the understanding's culture pays | E |
| Luxuriant harvest nor shall Folly bring | F |
| Her aids obtrusive Then with ardent gaze | E |
| The INGENIOUS to their rich resources spring | F |
| While sullen Winter's dull imprisoning days | E |
| Hang on the vacant mind with flagging wing | F |
