Sonnet -- The Snow-drop Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBC DEEE FEEFGG| THOU meekest emblem of the infant year | A |
| Why droops so cold and wan thy fragrant head | B |
| Ah why retiring to thy frozen bed | B |
| Steals from thy silky leaves the trembling tear | C |
| - | |
| Day's op'ning eye shall warm thy gentle breast | D |
| Revive thy timid charms and sickly hue | E |
| Thy drooping buds shall drink the morning dew | E |
| And bloom again by glowing PHOEBUS drest | E |
| - | |
| Or should the midnight damp with icy breath | F |
| Nip thy pale check and bow thee to the ground | E |
| Or the bleak winds thy blossoms scatter round | E |
| And all thy modest beauties fade to death | F |
| E'en in decay thy spotless sweets shall rise | G |
| And midst AURORA'S TEARS evap'rate IN THE SKIES | G |
