Sonnet Vii: Sweet Poet Of The Woods Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABACDEDEFGFGHI| Sweet poet of the woods a long adieu | A |
| Farewel soft minstrel of the early year | B |
| Ah 'twill be long ere thou shalt sing anew | A |
| And pour thy music on the 'night's dull ear ' | C |
| Whether on spring thy wandering flights await | D |
| Or whether silent in our groves ye dwell | E |
| The pensive muse shall own thee for her mate | D |
| And still protect the song she loves so well | E |
| With cautious step the love lorn youth shall glide | F |
| Thro' the lone brake that shades thy mossy nest | G |
| And shepherd girls from eyes profane shall hide | F |
| The gentle bird who sings of pity best | G |
| For still thy voice shall soft affections move | H |
| And still be dear to sorrow and to love | I |
