Expression Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCCECFGFG| Expression throbbing utterance of the soul | A |
| Born in some bard when with the muses' fires | B |
| His feeling bursts unaw'd above control | A |
| And to the topmost height of heaven aspires | B |
| Stealing the music of some angel's song | C |
| To tell of all he sees and all admires | D |
| Which fancy's colours paint so sweet so strong | C |
| And to far humbler scenes thou dost belong | C |
| In Sorrow thou art warm when speaking tears | E |
| Down some sad cheek in silence wail their wrong | C |
| And ah most sweet Expression then appears | F |
| Thy smile of Gratitude where bosoms bleed | G |
| Though high the lofty poet's frenzy steers | F |
| In nature's simplest garb thou'rt sweet indeed | G |
