Sonnet'to Science Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABACBDBDEFEGHH| Science true daughter of Old Time thou art | A |
| Who alterest all things with thy peering eyes | B |
| Why preyest thou thus upon the poet's heart | A |
| Vulture whose wings are dull realities | C |
| How should he love thee or how deem thee wise | B |
| Who wouldst not leave him in his wandering | D |
| To seek for treasure in the jewelled skies | B |
| Albeit he soared with an undaunted wing | D |
| Hast thou not dragged Diana from her car | E |
| And driven the Hamadryad from the wood | F |
| To seek a shelter in some happier star | E |
| Hast thou not torn the Naiad from her flood | G |
| The Elfin from the green grass and from me | H |
| The summer dream beneath the tamarind tree | H |
