Sonnet Xv Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AB CDEDFGFGHIHIJJ| TO MISS AUGUSTA COWELL | A |
| To whom I owe the popularity of some of my favourite ballads | B |
| - | |
| WHEN thy light fingers touch th' obedient chords | C |
| Which with a gentle murmur low respond | D |
| Waiting the measure of the coming words | E |
| From that sweet voice so plaintive sad and fond | D |
| Say does some wing d Ariel hovering near | F |
| Teach thee his island music note for note | G |
| That thou may'st copy with an echo clear | F |
| Th' enchanted symphonies that round thee float | G |
| Or do all Melodies whilst thou art playing | H |
| Each with the offering of some chorded sound | I |
| On the low slanting sunbeam earthward straying | H |
| Like meek subservient spirits wander round | I |
| In Harmony's dim language asking thee | J |
| Which of them for the hour shall thy attendant be | J |
