Sonnet To Hope Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCBDEFEGHGHII| O ever skilled to wear the form we love | A |
| To bid the shapes of fear and grief depart | B |
| Come gentle Hope with one gay smile remove | C |
| The lasting sadness of an aching heart | B |
| Thy voice benign Enchantress let me hear | D |
| Say that for me some pleasures yet shall bloom | E |
| That Fancy's radiance Friendship's precious tear | F |
| Shall soften or shall chase misfortune's gloom | E |
| But come not glowing in the dazzling ray | G |
| Which once with dear illusions charm'd my eye | H |
| O strew no more sweet flatterer on my way | G |
| The flowers I fondly thought too bright to die | H |
| Visions less fair will soothe my pensive breast | I |
| That asks not happiness but longs for rest | I |
