Sonnet To Mrs. Bates Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABACDEEFGHIHJJOh thou whose melody the heart obeys | A |
Thou who can'st all its subject passions move | B |
Whose notes to heav'n the list'ning soul can raise | A |
Can thrill with pity or can melt with love | C |
Happy whom nature lent this native charm | D |
Whose melting tones can shed with magic power | E |
A sweeter pleasure o'er the social hour | E |
The breast to softness sooth to virtue warm But | F |
yet more happy that thy life as clear | G |
From discord as thy perfect cadence flows | H |
That tun'd to sympathy thy faithful tear | I |
In mild accordance falls for others woes | H |
That all the tender pure affections bind | J |
In chains of harmony thy willing mind | J |
