Sonnet Xxiii. By The Same. To The North Star. Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCEFGFGHH| TO thy bright beams I turn my swimming eyes | A |
| Fair favourite planet which in happier days | B |
| Saw my young hopes ah faithless hopes arise | A |
| And on my passion shed propitious rays | B |
| Now nightly wandering 'mid the tempests drear | C |
| That howl the woods and rocky steeps among | D |
| I love to see thy sudden light appear | C |
| Through the swift clouds driven by the wind along | E |
| Or in the turbid water rude and dark | F |
| O'er whose wild stream the gust of Winter raves | G |
| Thy trembling light with pleasure still I mark | F |
| Gleam in faint radiance on the foaming waves | G |
| So o'er my soul short rays of reason fly | H |
| Then fade and leave me to despair and die | H |
