Early Sorrows Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABBCBCDDEFCF| Full many a sharp sad unexpected thorn | A |
| Finds room to wound Life's lacerated flower | B |
| Which subtle fate to every mortal born | A |
| Guides unprevented in an early hour | B |
| Ah cruel thorns too soon I felt your power | B |
| Your throbbing shoots of never ceasing pain | C |
| Hope's blossoms in their bud did long devour | B |
| And left continued my sad eyes to strain | C |
| On wilder'd spots chok'd up with Sorrow's weeds | D |
| Alas that's shaken but too many seeds | D |
| To leave me room for Hopes to bud again | E |
| But Fate may torture while it is decreed | F |
| Where all my hope's unblighted blooms remain | C |
| That Heaven's recompense shall this succeed | F |
