Sonnet X. To Mrs. G Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCDEFEFGG| AH why will Mem'ry with officious care | A |
| The long lost visions of my days renew | B |
| Why paint the vernal landscape green and fair | A |
| When life's gay dawn was opening to my view | B |
| Ah wherefore bring those moments of delight | C |
| When with my Anna on the southern shore | D |
| I thought the future as the present bright | C |
| Ye dear delusions ye return no more | D |
| Alas how diff'rent does the truth appear | E |
| From the warm picture youth's rash hand portrays | F |
| How fades the scene as we approach it near | E |
| And pain and sorrow strike how many ways | F |
| Yet of that tender heart ah still retain | G |
| A share for me and I will not complain | G |
