Sonnet Lxxxii. To The Shade Of Burns Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCBDBAAEFEFFC| MUTE is thy wild harp now O bard sublime | A |
| Who amid Scotia's mountain solitude | B |
| Great Nature taught to 'build the lofty rhyme ' | C |
| And even beneath the daily pressure rude | B |
| Of labouring poverty thy generous blood | D |
| Fired with the love of freedom Not subdued | B |
| Wert thou by thy low fortune but a time | A |
| Like this we live in when the abject chime | A |
| Of echoing parasite is best approved | E |
| Was not for thee Indignantly is fled | F |
| Thy noble spirit and no longer moved | E |
| By all the ills o'er which thine heart has bled | F |
| Associate worthy of the illustrious dead | F |
| Enjoys with them 'the liberty it loved ' | C |
