Sonnet Li. Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCDDCECCCFGFGCC| FROM THE NOVEL OF CELESTINA | A |
| Supposed to have been written in the Hebrides | B |
| ON this lone island whose unfruitful breast | C |
| Feeds but the summer shepherd's little flock | D |
| With scanty herbage from the half clothed rock | D |
| Where osprays cormorants and sea mews rest | C |
| Even in a scene so desolate and rude | E |
| I could with thee for months and years be blest | C |
| And of thy tenderness and love possest | C |
| Find all my world in this wild solitude | C |
| When Summer suns these Northern seas illume | F |
| With thee admire the light's reflected charms | G |
| And when drear Winter spreads his cheerless gloom | F |
| Still find Elysium in thy shelt'ring arms | G |
| For thou to me canst sovereign bliss impart | C |
| Thy mind my empire and my throne thy heart | C |
