Sonnet Xix: Farewell, Ye Coral Caves Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBACACACA| Farewell ye coral caves ye pearly sands | A |
| Ye waving woods that crown yon lofty steep | B |
| Farewell ye Nereides of the glitt'ring deep | B |
| Ye mountain tribes ye fawns ye sylvan bands | A |
| On the bleak rock your frantic minstrel stands | A |
| Each task forgot save that to sigh and weep | B |
| In vain the strings her burning fingers sweep | B |
| No more her touch the Grecian Lyre commands | A |
| In Circe's cave my faithless Phaon's laid | C |
| Her daemons dress his brow with opiate flow'rs | A |
| Or loit'ring in the brown pomgranate shade | C |
| Beguile with am'rous strains the fateful hours | A |
| While Sappho's lips to paly ashes fade | C |
| And sorrow's cank'ring worm her heart devours | A |
