Sonnet Liv. Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCDCDEFFEFGFGHI| THE SLEEPING WOODMAN | A |
| Written in April | B |
| YE copses wild where April bids arise | C |
| The vernal grasses and the early flowers | D |
| My soul depress'd from human converse flies | C |
| To the lone shelter of your pathless bowers | D |
| Lo where the Woodman with his toil oppress'd | E |
| His careless head on bark and moss reclined | F |
| Lull'd by the song of birds the murmuring wind | F |
| Has sunk to calm though momentary rest | E |
| Ah would 'twere mine in Spring's green lap to find | F |
| Such transient respite from the ills I bear | G |
| Would I could taste like this unthinking hind | F |
| A sweet forgetfulness of human care | G |
| Till the last sleep these weary eyes shall close | H |
| And Death receive me to his long repose | I |
