Sonnet Lxxvii. To The Insect Of The Gossamer Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBACDEDFGFHII| SMALL viewless aeronaut that by the line | A |
| Of Gossamer suspended in mid air | B |
| Float'st on a sun beam Living atom where | B |
| Ends thy breeze guided voyage with what design | A |
| In ether dost thou launch thy form minute | C |
| Mocking the eye Alas before the veil | D |
| Of denser clouds shall hide thee the pursuit | E |
| Of the keen Swift may end thy fairy sail | D |
| Thus on the golden thread that Fancy weaves | F |
| Buoyant as Hope's illusive flattery breathes | G |
| The young and visionary poet leaves | F |
| Life's dull realities while sevenfold wreaths | H |
| Of rainbow light around his head revolve | I |
| Ah soon at Sorrow's touch the radiant dreams dissolve | I |
