Sonnet (ye Unseen Spirits, Whose Wild Melodies) Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEFFEGGGGHG| Ye unseen spirits whose wild melodies | A |
| At evening rising slow yet sweetly clear | B |
| Steal on the musing poet's pensive ear | C |
| As by the wood spring stretch'd supine he lies | D |
| When he who now invokes you low is laid | E |
| His tired frame resting on the earth's cold bed | F |
| Hold ye your nightly vigils o'er his head | F |
| And chant a dirge to his reposing shade | E |
| For he was wont to love your madrigals | G |
| And often by the haunted stream that laves | G |
| The dark sequester'd woodland's inmost caves | G |
| Would sit and listen to the dying falls | G |
| Till the full tear would quiver in his eye | H |
| And his big heart would heave with mournful ecstasy | G |
