Sonnet Xxxviii. Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCCBCBCBDDEDEE| FROM THE NOVEL OF EMMELINE | A |
| WHEN welcome slumber sets my spirit free | B |
| Forth to fictitious happiness it flies | C |
| And where Elysian bowers of bliss arise | C |
| I seem my Emmeline to meet with thee | B |
| Ah Fancy then dissolving human ties | C |
| Gives me the wishes of my soul to see | B |
| Tears of fond pity fill thy soften'd eyes | C |
| In heavenly harmony our hearts agree | B |
| Alas these joys are mine in dreams alone | D |
| When cruel Reason abdicates her throne | D |
| Her harsh return condemns me to complain | E |
| Through life unpitied unrelieved unknown | D |
| And as the dear delusions leave my brain | E |
| She bids the truth recur with aggravated pain | E |
