Sonnet In Memory Of Henry Kirke White, By J. G. Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAACBADEDEFF| 'Tis now the dead of night and I will go | A |
| To where the brook soft murmuring glides along | B |
| In the still wood yet does the plaintive song | B |
| Of Philomela through the welkin flow | A |
| And while pale Cynthia carelessly doth throw | A |
| Her dewy beams the verdant boughs among | C |
| Will sit beneath some spreading oak tree strong | B |
| And intermingle with the streams my woe | A |
| Hush'd in deep silence every gentle breeze | D |
| No mortal breath disturbs the awful gloom | E |
| Cold chilling dewdrops trickle down the trees | D |
| And every flower withholds its rich perfume | E |
| 'Tis sorrow leads me to that sacred ground | F |
| Where Henry moulders in a sleep profound | F |
