Sonnet Xlviii. To Mrs. **** Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABACACDEDEDD| NO more my wearied soul attempts to stray | A |
| From sad reality and vain regret | B |
| Nor courts enchanting fiction to allay | A |
| Sorrows that sense refuses to forget | B |
| For of calamity so long the prey | A |
| Imagination now has lost her powers | C |
| Nor will her fairy loom again essay | A |
| To dress affliction in a robe of flowers | C |
| But if no more the bowers of Fancy bloom | D |
| Let one superior scene attract my view | E |
| Where heaven's pure rays the sacred spot illume | D |
| Let thy loved hand with palm and amaranth strew | E |
| The mournful path approaching to the tomb | D |
| While Faith's consoling voice endears the friendly gloom | D |
