Sonnet On Reading Burns' Mountain Daisy Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCDBBBBBB| While soon the quot garden's flaunting flowers quot decay | A |
| And scatter'd on the earth neglected lie | B |
| The quot Mountain Daisy quot cherish'd by the ray | A |
| A poet drew from heav'n shall never die | B |
| Ah like that lovely flower the poet rose | C |
| 'Mid penury's bare soil and bitter gale | D |
| He felt each storm that on the mountain blows | C |
| Nor ever knew the shelter of the vale | D |
| By Genius in her native vigour nurst | B |
| On Nature with impassion'd look he gazed | B |
| Then through the cloud of adverse fortune burst | B |
| Indignant and in light unborrow'd blaz'd | B |
| Shield from rude sorrow SCOTIA shield thy bard | B |
| His heav'n taught numbers Fame herself will guard | B |
