Sonnet To Disappointment Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAACDAEEEEEE| PALE disappointment at thy freezing name | A |
| Chill fears in every shiv'ring vein I prove | B |
| My sinking pulse almost forgets to move | B |
| And life almost forsakes my languid frame | A |
| Yet thee relentless nymph no more I blame | A |
| Why do my thoughts 'midst vain illusions rove | C |
| Why gild the charms of friendship and of love | D |
| With the warm glow of fancy's purple flame | A |
| When ruffling winds have some bright fane o'erthrown | E |
| Which shone on painted clouds or seem'd to shine | E |
| Shall the fond gazer dream for him alone | E |
| Those clouds were sable and at fate repine | E |
| I feel alas the fault is all my own | E |
| And ah the cruel punishment is mine | E |
