Sonnet Xxxvi: Lead Me, Sicilian Maids Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AAAAAAAABCBCBCLead me Sicilian Maids to haunted bow'rs | A |
While yon pale moon displays her faintest beams | A |
O'er blasted woodlands and enchanted streams | A |
Whose banks infect the breeze with pois'nous flow'rs | A |
Ah lead me where the barren mountain tow'rs | A |
Where no sounds echo but the night owl's screams | A |
Where some lone spirit of the desart gleams | A |
And lurid horrors wing the fateful hours | A |
Now goaded frenzy grasps my shrinking brain | B |
Her touch absorbs the crystal fount of woe | C |
My blood rolls burning through each gasping vein | B |
Away lost Lyre unless thou can'st bestow | C |
A charm to lull that agonizing pain | B |
Which those who never lov'd can never know | C |
