Sonnet Lxxii. To The Morning Star Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBACDCDEFGFHH| THEE lucid arbiter 'twixt day and night | A |
| The seaman greets as on the ocean stream | B |
| Reflected thy precursive friendly beam | B |
| Points out the long sought haven to his sight | A |
| Watching for thee the lover's ardent eyes | C |
| Turn to the eastern hills and as above | D |
| Thy brilliance trembles hails the lights that rise | C |
| To guide his footsteps to expecting love | D |
| I mark thee too as night's dark clouds retire | E |
| And thy bright radiance glances on the sea | F |
| But never more shall thy heraldic fire | G |
| Speak of approaching morn with joy to me | F |
| Quench'd in the gloom of death that heavenly ray | H |
| Once lent to light me on my thorny way | H |
