Sonnet To Expression Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCADEEFGHHIJJExpression child of soul I fondly trace | A |
Thy strong enchantments when the poet's lyre | B |
The painter's pencil catch thy sacred fire | C |
And beauty wakes for thee her touching grace | A |
But from this frighted glance thy form avert | D |
When horrors check thy tear thy struggling sigh | E |
When frenzy rolls in thy impassion'd eye | E |
Or guilt sits heavy on thy lab'ring heart | F |
Nor ever let my shudd'ring fancy bear | G |
The wasting groan or view the pallid look | H |
Of him A the Muses lov'd when hope forsook | H |
His spirit vainly to the Muses dear | I |
For charm'd with heav'nly song this bleeding breast | J |
Mourns the blest power of verse could give despair no rest | J |
