Sonnet Xxix: Farewell, Ye Tow'ring Cedars Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBBCDCDCD| Farewell ye tow'ring Cedars in whose shade | A |
| Lull'd by the Nightingale I sunk to rest | B |
| While spicy breezes hover'd o'er my breast | B |
| To fan my cheek in deep'ning tints array'd | A |
| While am'rous insects humming round me play'd | A |
| Each flow'r forsook of prouder sweets in quest | B |
| Of glowing lips in humid fragrance drest | B |
| That mock'd the Sunny Hybla's vaunted aid | B |
| Farewell ye limpid rivers Oh farewell | C |
| No more shall Sappho to your grots repair | D |
| No more your white waves to her bosom swell | C |
| Or your dank weeds entwine her floating hair | D |
| As erst when Venus in her sparry cell | C |
| Wept to behold a brighter goddess there | D |
