Sonnet Lxiii: The Gossamer Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCDAEAEFF| O'er faded heath flowers spun or thorny furze | A |
| The filmy Gossamer is lightly spread | B |
| Waving in every sighing air that stirs | A |
| As Fairy fingers had entwined the thread | B |
| A thousand trembling orbs of lucid dew | C |
| Spangle the texture of the fairy loom | D |
| As if soft Sylphs lamenting as they flew | C |
| Had wept departed Summer's transient bloom | D |
| But the wind rises and the turf receives | A |
| The glittering web So evanescent fade | E |
| Bright views that Youth with sanguine heart believes | A |
| So vanish schemes of bliss by Fancy made | E |
| Which fragile as the fleeting dews of morn | F |
| Leave but the wither'd heath and barren thorn | F |
