Sonnet Ii: High On A Rock Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AAAAAAAABCDCDC| High on a rock coaeval with the skies | A |
| A Temple stands rear'd by immortal pow'rs | A |
| To Chastity divine ambrosial flow'rs | A |
| Twining round icicles in columns rise | A |
| Mingling with pendent gems of orient dyes | A |
| Piercing the air a golden crescent tow'rs | A |
| Veil'd by transparent clouds while smiling hours | A |
| Shake from their varying wings celestial joys | A |
| The steps of spotless marble scatter'd o'er | B |
| With deathless roses arm'd with many a thorn | C |
| Lead to the altar On the frozen floor | D |
| Studded with tear drops petrified by scorn | C |
| Pale vestals kneel the Goddess to adore | D |
| While Love his arrows broke retires forlorn | C |
