Sonnet Lv. Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDEFGHGIJJ| BORNE on the warm wing of the western gale | A |
| How tremulously low is heard to float | B |
| Thro' the green budding thorns that fringe the vale | A |
| The early Nightingale's prelusive note | B |
| 'Tis Hope's instinctive power that through the grove | C |
| Tells how benignant Heaven revives the earth | D |
| 'Tis the soft voice of young and timid love | E |
| That calls these melting sounds of sweetness forth | F |
| With transport once sweet bird I hail'd thy lay | G |
| And bade thee welcome to our shades again | H |
| To charm the wandering poet's pensive way | G |
| And soothe the solitary lover's pain | I |
| But now such evils in my lot combine | J |
| As shut my languid sense to Hope's dear voice and thine | J |
