Sonnet To Peace Of Mind Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBACDCDCD| Sweet Peace ah lead me from the thorny dale | A |
| Where desolate my wand'ring steps have fled | B |
| Far from the sunny paths which others tread | B |
| While youth enlivens and while joys prevail | A |
| Then I no more shall vanished hopes bewail | A |
| No more the fruitless tear shall love to shed | B |
| When pensive eve her cherish'd gloom has spread | B |
| And day's bright tints like my short pleasures fail | A |
| Yet lead me not where blooms the glowing rose | C |
| But lead me where the cypress branches wave | D |
| Thou hast a shelt'ring cell for cureless woes | C |
| A home of refuge where no tempests rave | D |
| There would my weary heart in youth repose | C |
| Beneath the turf that shrouds an early grave | D |
