To Seraphina Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABBCCAADDEFGHIIJJKK FE| The wanton's charms however bright | A |
| Are like the false illusive light | A |
| Whose flattering unauspicious blaze | B |
| To precipices oft betrays | B |
| But that sweet ray your beauties dart | C |
| Which clears the mind and cleans the heart | C |
| Is like the sacred queen of night | A |
| Who pours a lovely gentle light | A |
| Wide o'er the dark by wanderers blest | D |
| Conducting them to peace and rest | D |
| A vicious love depraves the mind | E |
| 'Tis anguish guilt and folly joined | F |
| But Seraphina's eyes dispense | G |
| A mild and gracious influence | H |
| Such as in visions angels shed | I |
| Around the heaven illumined head | I |
| To love thee Seraphina sure | J |
| Is to be tender happy pure | J |
| 'Tis from low passions to escape | K |
| And woo bright virtue's fairest shape | K |
| 'Tis ecstasy with wisdom joined | F |
| And heaven infused into the mind | E |
