Sonnet Lvi. Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AAAAABACDADADA| IF by his torturing savage foes untraced | A |
| The breathless captive gain some trackless glade | A |
| Yet hears the war whoop howl along the waste | A |
| And dreads the reptile monsters of the shade | A |
| The giant reeds that murmur round the flood | A |
| Seem to conceal some hideous form beneath | B |
| And every hollow blast that shakes the wood | A |
| Speaks to his trembling heart of woe and death | C |
| With horror fraught and desolate dismay | D |
| On such a wanderer falls the starless night | A |
| But if far streaming a propitious ray | D |
| Leads to some amicable fort his sight | A |
| He hails the beam benign that guides his way | D |
| As I my Harriet bless thy friendship's cheering light | A |
