Sonnet Xxvi: Where Antique Woods Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCAADCAEFEFGF| Where antique woods o'er hang the mountains's crest | A |
| And mid day glooms in solemn silence lour | B |
| Philosophy go seek a lonely bow'r | C |
| And waste life's fervid noon in fancied rest | A |
| Go where the bird of sorrow weaves her nest | A |
| Cooing in sadness sweet through night's dim hour | D |
| Go cull the dew drops from each potent flow'r | C |
| That med'cines to the cold and reas'ning breast | A |
| Go where the brook in liquid lapse steals by | E |
| Scarce heard amid'st the mingling echoes round | F |
| What time the noon fades slowly down the sky | E |
| And slumb'ring zephyrs moan in caverns bound | F |
| Be these thy pleasures dull Philosophy | G |
| Nor vaunt the balm to heal a lover's wound | F |
