Sonnet To The Calbassia-tree Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBACDCDCD| SUBLIME Calbassia luxuriant tree | A |
| How soft the gloom thy bright hued foliage throws | B |
| While from thy pulp a healing balsam flows | B |
| Whose power the suff'ring wretch from pain can free | A |
| My pensive footsteps ever turn to thee | A |
| Since oft while musing on my lasting woes | B |
| Beneath thy flowery white bells I repose | B |
| Symbol of Friendship dost thou seem to me | A |
| For thus has Friendship cast her soothing shade | C |
| O'er my unshelter'd bosom's keen distress | D |
| Thus sought to heal the wounds which Love has made | C |
| And temper bleeding sorrow's sharp excess | D |
| Ah not in vain she lends her balmy aid | C |
| The agonies she cannot cure are less | D |
