Sonnet To The Memory Of Miss Maria Linley Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBA CDCD EFFEGH| So bends beneath the storm yon balmy flow'r | A |
| Whose spicy blossoms once perfum'd the gale | B |
| So press'd with tears reclines yon lily pale | B |
| Obedient to the rude and beating show'r | A |
| - | |
| Still is the LARK that hov'ring o'er yon spray | C |
| With jocund carol usher'd in the morn | D |
| And mute the NIGHTINGALE whose tender lay | C |
| Melted the feeling mind with sounds forlorn | D |
| - | |
| More sweet MARIA was thy plaintive strain | E |
| That strain is o'er but mem'ry ne'er shall fade | F |
| When erst it cheer'd grey twilight's dreary shade | F |
| And charm'd the sorrow stricken soul from pain | E |
| STILL STILL melodious maid thy dulcet song | G |
| Shall breathe immortal on an ANGEL'S TONGUE | H |
