Sonnet Lxxxiii. The Sea View Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABACCDEDEDEEFF| THE upland shepherd as reclined he lies | A |
| On the soft turf that clothes the mountain brow | B |
| Marks the bright sea line mingling with the skies | A |
| Or from his course celestial sinking slow | C |
| The summer sun in purple radiance low | C |
| Blaze on the western waters the wide scene | D |
| Magnificent and tranquil seems to spread | E |
| Even o'er the rustic's breast a joy serene | D |
| When like dark plague spots by the demons shed | E |
| Charged deep with death upon the waves far seen | D |
| Move the war freighted ships and fierce and red | E |
| Flash their destructive fires The mangled dead | E |
| And dying victims then pollute the flood | F |
| Ah thus man spoils Heaven's glorious works with blood | F |
