Sonnet Xlii: Composed During A Walk Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABACBDCDDEDEFF| The dark and pillowy cloud the sallow trees | A |
| Seem o'er the ruins of the year to mourn | B |
| And cold and hollow the inconstant breeze | A |
| Sobs thro' the falling leaves and wither'd fern | C |
| O'er the tall brow of yonder chalky bourn | B |
| The evening shades their gather'd darkness fling | D |
| While by the lingering light I scarce discern | C |
| The shrieking night jar sail on heavy wing | D |
| Ah yet a little and propitious Spring | D |
| Crown'd with fresh flowers shall wake the woodland strain | E |
| But no gay change revolving seasons bring | D |
| To call forth pleasure from the soul of pain | E |
| Bid Syren Hope resume her long lost part | F |
| And chase the vulture Care that feeds upon the heart | F |
