Sonnet Lxv. To Dr. Parry Of Bath Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AB CDDCEFFEAGAGHH| With some botanic drawings which had been made | A |
| some years | B |
| - | |
| IN happier hours ere yet so keenly blew | C |
| Adversity's cold blight and bitter storms | D |
| Luxuriant Summer's evanescent forms | D |
| And Spring's soft blooms with pencil light I drew | C |
| But as the lovely family of flowers | E |
| Shrink from the bleakness of the Northern blast | F |
| So fail from present care and sorrow past | F |
| The slight botanic pencil's mimic powers | E |
| Nor will kind Fancy even by Memory's aid | A |
| Her visionary garlands now entwine | G |
| Yet while the wreaths of Hope and Pleasure fade | A |
| Still is one flower of deathless blossom mine | G |
| That dares the Lapse of Time and Tempest rude | H |
| The unfading Amaranth of Gratitude | H |
