Sonnet Lxiv Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEFGFHIHIIIHERE from the restless bed of lingering pain | A |
The languid sufferer seeks the tepid wave | B |
And feels returning health and hope again | C |
Disperse 'the gathering shadows of the grave ' | D |
And here romantic rocks that boldly swell | E |
Fringed with green woods or stain'd with veins of ore | F |
Call'd native genius forth whose Heaven taught skill | G |
Charm'd the deep echoes of the rifted shore | F |
But tepid waves wild scenes or summer air | H |
Restore they palsied Fancy woe deprest | I |
Check they the torpid influence of Despair | H |
Or bid warm Health re animate the breast | I |
Where Hope's soft visions have no longer part | I |
And whose sad inmate is a broken heart | I |
