Sonnet Lxxiv. The Winter Night Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBCDEDEFGFHDD| 'SLEEP that knits up the ravell'd sleeve of care ' | A |
| Forsakes me while the chill and sullen blast | B |
| As my sad soul recalls its sorrows past | B |
| Seems like a summons bidding me prepare | C |
| For the last sleep of death Murmuring I hear | D |
| The hollow wind around the ancient towers | E |
| While night and silence reign and cold and drear | D |
| The darkest gloom of middle winter lowers | E |
| But wherefore fear existence such as mine | F |
| To change for long and undisturb'd repose | G |
| Ah when this suffering being I resign | F |
| And o'er my miseries the tomb shall close | H |
| By her whose loss in anguish I deplore | D |
| I shall be laid and feel that loss no more | D |
