Sonnet: - Xv Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBCADCDAAAAAA| Last night I heard the plaintive whippoorwill | A |
| And straightway Sorrow shot his swiftest dart | B |
| I know not why but it has chilled my heart | B |
| Like some dread thing of evil All night long | C |
| My nerves were shaken and my pulse stood still | A |
| And waited for a terror yet to come | D |
| To strike harsh discords through my life's sweet song | C |
| Sleep came an incubus that filled the sum | D |
| Of wretchedness with dreams so wild and chill | A |
| The sweat oozed from me like great drops of gall | A |
| An evil spirit kept my mind in thrall | A |
| And rolled my body up like a poor scroll | A |
| On which is written curses that the soul | A |
| Shrinks back from when it sees some hellish carnival | A |
