Sonnet Lxviii. Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCBCDEDEFGFGHI| Written at Exmouth Midsummer | A |
| FALL dews of Heaven upon my burning breast | B |
| Bathe with cool drops these ever streaming eyes | C |
| Ye gentle Winds that fan the balmy West | B |
| With the soft rippling tide of morning rise | C |
| And calm my bursting heart as here I keep | D |
| The vigil of the wretched Now away | E |
| Fade the pale stars as wavering o'er the deep | D |
| Soft rosy tints announce another day | E |
| The day of Middle Summer Ah in vain | F |
| To those who mourn like me does radiant June | G |
| Lead on her fragrant hours for hopeless pain | F |
| Darkens with sullen clouds the Sun of Noon | G |
| And veil'd in shadows Nature's face appears | H |
| To hearts o'erwhelm'd with grief to eyes suffused with tears | I |
