Sonnet V. To The South Downs Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABACDEDEFGFGHI| AH hills beloved where once a happy child | A |
| Your beechen shades 'your turf your flowers among ' | B |
| I wove your blue bells into garlands wild | A |
| And woke your echoes with my artless song | C |
| Ah hills beloved your turf your flowers remain | D |
| But can they peace to this sad breast restore | E |
| For one poor moment soothe the sense of pain | D |
| And teach a breaking heart to throb no more | E |
| And you Aruna in the vale below | F |
| As to the sea your limpid waves you bear | G |
| Can you one kind Lethean cup bestow | F |
| To drink a long oblivion to my care | G |
| Ah no when all e'en Hope's last ray is gone | H |
| There's no oblivion but in death alone | I |
