Sonnet Ix Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: A BCBCDEDEFGFGHI| TO THE COUNTESS HEL NE ZAVADOWSKY | A |
| - | |
| WHEN our young Queen put on her rightful crown | B |
| In Gothic Westminster's long hallow'd walls | C |
| The eye upon no lovelier sight look'd down | B |
| Than thou fair Russian Memory still recalls | C |
| The soft light of thy sapphire colour'd eyes | D |
| The rich twine of thy simply braided hair | E |
| And the low murmur of the crowd's surprise | D |
| To see thee pass along so strangely fair | E |
| Nor didst thou charm by looks and smiles alone | F |
| Thy 'broken English' had its share of grace | G |
| For something in thy accent and thy tone | F |
| So match'd the beauty of thy gentle face | G |
| We seem'd to hear our old familiar words | H |
| Set to some foreign lute or harp's melodious chords | I |
