Sonnet Xxxii. To Melancholy Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCCBBCDBEFGEFG| Written on the banks of the Arun Oct | A |
| WHEN latest Autumn spreads her evening veil | B |
| And the grey mists from these dim waves arise | C |
| I love to listen to the hollow sighs | C |
| Through the half leafless wood that breathes the gale | B |
| For at such hours the shadowy phantom pale | B |
| Oft seems to fleet before the poet's eyes | C |
| Strange sounds are heard and mournful melodies | D |
| As of night wanderers who their woes bewail | B |
| Here by his native stream at such an hour | E |
| Pity's own Otway I methinks could meet | F |
| And hear his deep sighs swell the sadden'd wind | G |
| O Melancholy such thy magic power | E |
| That to the soul these dreams are often sweet | F |
| And sooth the pensive visionary mind | G |
