Sonnet Xliii: While From The Dizzy Precipice Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAAAAACDCDCD| While from the dizzy precipice I gaze | A |
| The world receding from my pensive eyes | B |
| High o'er my head the tyrant eagle flies | B |
| Cloth'd in the sinking sun's transcendent blaze | A |
| The meek ey'd moon 'midst clouds of amber plays | A |
| As o'er the purpling plains of light she hies | A |
| Till the last stream of living lustre dies | A |
| And the cool concave owns her temper'd rays | A |
| So shall this glowing palpitating soul | C |
| Welcome returning Reason's placid beam | D |
| While o'er my breast the waves Lethean roll | C |
| To calm rebellious Fancy's fev'rish dream | D |
| Then shall my Lyre disdain love's dread control | C |
| And loftier passions prompt the loftier theme | D |
