Sonnet Lx. To An Amiable Girl Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCDEEEEEE| MIRANDA mark where shrinking from the gale | A |
| Its silken leaves yet moist with early dew | B |
| That fair faint flower the Lily of the vale | A |
| Droops its meek head and looks methinks like you | B |
| Wrapp'd in a shadowy veil of tender green | C |
| Its snowy bells a soft perfume dispense | D |
| And bending as reluctant to be seen | C |
| In simple loveliness it sooths the sense | D |
| With bosom bared to meet the garish day | E |
| The glaring Tulip gaudy undismay'd | E |
| Offends the eye of taste that turns away | E |
| To seek the Lily in her fragrant shade | E |
| With such unconscious beauty pensive mild | E |
| Miranda charms Nature's soft modest child | E |
