Sonnet Xvi: Delusive Hope Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBACDCDCD| Delusive Hope more transient than the ray | A |
| That leads pale twilight to her dusky bed | B |
| O'er woodland glen or breezy mountain's head | B |
| Ling'ring to catch the parting sigh of day | A |
| Hence with thy visionary charms away | A |
| Nor o'er my path the flow'rs of fancy spread | B |
| Thy airy dreams on peaceful pillows shed | B |
| And weave for thoughtless brows a garland gay | A |
| Farewell low vallies dizzy cliffs farewell | C |
| Small vagrant rills that murmur as ye flow | D |
| Dark bosom'd labyrinth and thorny dell | C |
| The task be mine all pleasures to forego | D |
| To hide where meditation loves to dwell | C |
| And feed my soul with luxury of woe | D |
