Sonnet Vi. To Hope Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCEFGFHII| OH Hope thou soother sweet of human woes | A |
| How shall I lure thee to my haunts forlorn | B |
| For me wilt thou renew the wither'd rose | A |
| And clear my painful path of pointed thorn | B |
| Ah come sweet nymph in smiles and softness drest | C |
| Like the young hours that lead the tender year | D |
| Enchantress come and charm my cares to rest | C |
| Alas the flatterer flies and will not hear | E |
| A prey to fear anxiety and pain | F |
| Must I a sad existence still deplore | G |
| Lo the flowers fade but all the thorns remain | F |
| 'For me the vernal garland blooms no more ' | H |
| Come then 'pale Misery's love ' be thou my cure | I |
| And I will bless thee who though slow art sure | I |
