Sonnet On Hearing The Sounds Of An æolian Harp Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBACDDCEF| So ravishingly soft upon the tide | A |
| Of the infuriate gust it did career | B |
| It might have soothed its rugged charioteer | B |
| And sunk him to a zephyr then it died | A |
| Melting in melody and I descried | A |
| Borne to some wizard stream the form appear | B |
| Of Druid sage who on the far off ear | B |
| Pour'd his lone song to which the surge replied | A |
| Or thought I heard the hapless pilgrim's knell | C |
| Lost in some wild enchanted forest's bounds | D |
| By unseen beings sung or are these sounds | D |
| Such as 'tis said at night are known to swell | C |
| By startled shepherd on the lonely heath | E |
| Keeping his night watch sad portending death | F |
