Sonnet Xl: On The Low Margin Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBACDCDCD| On the low margin of a murm'ring stream | A |
| As rapt in meditation's arms I lay | B |
| Each aching sense in slumbers stole away | B |
| While potent fancy form'd a soothing dream | A |
| O'er the Leucadian deep a dazzling beam | A |
| Shed the bland light of empyrean day | B |
| But soon transparent shadows veil'd each ray | B |
| While mystic visions sprang athwart the gleam | A |
| Now to the heaving gulf they seem'd to bend | C |
| And now across the sphery regions glide | D |
| Now in mid air their dulcet voices blend | C |
| Awake awake the restless phalanx cried | D |
| See ocean yawns the lover's woes to end | C |
| Plunge the green wave and bid thy griefs subside | D |
