To Poesy. Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBBBCBCAAAABDBD| O sweetly wild and 'witching Poesy | A |
| Thou light of this world's hermitage I prove thee | B |
| And surely none helps loving thee that knows thee | B |
| A soul of feeling cannot help but love thee | B |
| I would say how thy secret wonders move me | B |
| Thou spell of loveliness but 'tis too much | C |
| Had I the language of the gods above me | B |
| I might then venture thy wild harp to touch | C |
| And sing of all thy thrilling pains and pleasures | A |
| The flowers I meet in this world's wilderness | A |
| The comforts rising from thy spell bound treasures | A |
| Thy cordial balm that softens my distress | A |
| I would say all but thou art far above me | B |
| Words are too weak expression can't be had | D |
| I can but say I love and dearly love thee | B |
| And that thou cheer'st me when my soul is sad | D |
