Sonnet Lxix Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCDDCEFEFAGGABB| Written at the same place on seeing a Seaman return | A |
| who had been imprisoned at Rochfort | B |
| CLOUDS gold and purple o'er the western ray | C |
| Threw a bright veil and catching lights between | D |
| Fell on the glancing sail that we had seen | D |
| With soft but adverse winds throughout the day | C |
| Contending vainly as the vessel nears | E |
| Increasing numbers hail it from the shore | F |
| Lo on the deck a pallid form appears | E |
| Half wondering to behold himself once more | F |
| Approach his home And now he can discern | A |
| His cottage thatch amid surrounding trees | G |
| Yet trembling dreads lest sorrow or disease | G |
| Await him there embittering his return | A |
| But all he loves are safe with heart elate | B |
| Though poor and plunder'd he absolves his fate | B |
