Sonnet - To Genevra Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBCDEDFDF| Thy cheek is pale with thought but not from woe | A |
| And yet so lovely that if Mirth could flush | B |
| Its rose of whiteness with the brightest blush | B |
| My heart would wish away that ruder glow | A |
| And dazzle not thy deep blue eyes but oh | A |
| While gazing on them sterner eyes will gush | B |
| And into mine my mother's weakness rush | B |
| Soft as the last drops round Heaven's airy bow | C |
| For though thy long dark lashes low depending | D |
| The soul of melancholy Gentleness | E |
| Gleams like a Seraph from the sky descending | D |
| Above all pain yet pitying all distress | F |
| At once such majesty with sweetness blending | D |
| I worship more but cannot love thee less | F |
George Gordon Byron
