Sonnet To The Curlew Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBACDCDCD| SOOTH'D by the murmurs on the sea beat shore | A |
| His dun grey plumage floating to the gale | B |
| The Curlew blends his melancholy wail | B |
| With those hoarse sounds the rushing waters pour | A |
| Like thee congenial bird my steps explore | A |
| The bleak lone sea beach or the rocky dale | B |
| And shun the orange bower the myrtle vale | B |
| Whose gay luxuriance suits my soul no more | A |
| I love the ocean's broad expanse when drest | C |
| In limpid clearness or when tempests blow | D |
| When the smooth currents on its placid breast | C |
| Flow calm as my past moments us'd to flow | D |
| Or when its troubled waves refuse to rest | C |
| And seem the symbol of my present woe | D |
