Sonnet On An Alpine Night Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBA CDECDE| My hand a little raised might press a star | A |
| Where I may look the frosted peaks are spun | B |
| So shaped before Olympus was begun | B |
| Spanned each to each now by a silver bar | A |
| Thus to face Beauty have I traveled far | A |
| But now as if around my heart were run | B |
| Hard lacing fingers so I stand undone | B |
| Of all my tears the bitterest these are | A |
| - | |
| Who humbly followed Beauty all her ways | C |
| Begging the brambles that her robe had passed | D |
| Crying her name in corridors of stone | E |
| That day shall know his weariedest of days | C |
| When Beauty still and suppliant at last | D |
| Does not suffice him once they are alone | E |
