Sonnet To The Nightingale Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBACDCDCD| O nightingale that on yon blooming spray | A |
| Warblest at eve when all the woods are still | B |
| Thou with fresh hopes the Lover s heart dost fill | B |
| While the jolly Hours lead on propitious May | A |
| Thy liquid notes that close the eye of Day | A |
| First heard before the shallow cuckoo s bill | B |
| Portend success in love O if Jove s will | B |
| Have linked that amorous power to thy soft lay | A |
| Now timely sing ere the rude bird of hate | C |
| Foretell my hopeless doom in some grove nigh | D |
| As thou from year to year hast sung too late | C |
| For my relief yet had st no reason why | D |
| Whether the Muse or Love call thee his mate | C |
| Both them I serve and of their train am I | D |
John Milton
