Sonnet Xxiv: O Thou! Meek Orb Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBACDCDED| O thou meek Orb that stealing o'er the dale | A |
| Cheer'st with thy modest beams the noon of night | B |
| On the smooth lake diffusing silv'ry light | B |
| Sublimely still and beautifully pale | A |
| What can thy cool and placid eye avail | A |
| Where fierce despair absorbs the mental sight | B |
| While inbred glooms the vagrant thoughts invite | B |
| To tempt the gulph where howling fiends assail | A |
| O Night all nature owns thy temper'd pow'r | C |
| Thy solemn pause thy dews thy pensive beam | D |
| Thy sweet breath whisp'ring in the moonlight bow'r | C |
| While fainting flow'rets kiss the wand'ring stream | D |
| Yet vain is ev'ry charm and vain the hour | E |
| That brings to madd'ning love no soothing dream | D |
