Sonnet To The Torrid Zone Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBACDCDCD| PATHWAY of light o'er thy empurpled zone | A |
| With lavish charms perennial summer strays | B |
| Soft 'midst thy spicy groves the zephyr plays | B |
| While far around the rich perfumes are thrown | A |
| The Amadavid bird for thee alone | A |
| Spreads his gay plumes that catch thy vivid rays | B |
| For thee the gems with liquid lustre blaze | B |
| And Nature's various wealth is all thy own | A |
| But ah not thine is Twilight's doubtful gloom | C |
| Those mild gradations mingling day with night | D |
| Here instant darkness shrouds thy genial bloom | C |
| Nor leaves my pensive soul that ling'ring light | D |
| When musing Mem'ry would each trace resume | C |
| Of fading pleasures in successive flight | D |
