Sonnet To Mrs. Bates Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: ABACDEEFGHIHJJ

Oh thou whose melody the heart obeysA
Thou who can'st all its subject passions moveB
Whose notes to heav'n the list'ning soul can raiseA
Can thrill with pity or can melt with loveC
Happy whom nature lent this native charmD
Whose melting tones can shed with magic powerE
A sweeter pleasure o'er the social hourE
The breast to softness sooth to virtue warm ButF
yet more happy that thy life as clearG
From discord as thy perfect cadence flowsH
That tun'd to sympathy thy faithful tearI
In mild accordance falls for others woesH
That all the tender pure affections bindJ
In chains of harmony thy willing mindJ
