Sonnet Xli. To Tranquility Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABACBCBDEFDEF| IN this tumultuous sphere for thee unfit | A |
| How seldom art thou found Tranquillity | A |
| Unless 'tis when with mild and downcast eye | B |
| By the low cradles thou delight'st to sit | A |
| Of sleeping infants watching the soft breath | C |
| And bidding the sweet slumberers easy lie | B |
| Or sometimes hanging o'er the bed of death | C |
| Where the poor languid sufferer hopes to die | B |
| Oh beauteous sister of the halcyon peace | D |
| I sure shall find thee in that heavenly scene | E |
| Where care and anguish shall their power resign | F |
| Where hope alike and vain regret shall cease | D |
| And memory lost in happiness serene | E |
| Repeat no more that misery has been mine | F |
