Sonnet Xxxvi: Lead Me, Sicilian Maids Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: AAAAAAAABCBCBC

Lead me Sicilian Maids to haunted bow'rsA
While yon pale moon displays her faintest beamsA
O'er blasted woodlands and enchanted streamsA
Whose banks infect the breeze with pois'nous flow'rsA
Ah lead me where the barren mountain tow'rsA
Where no sounds echo but the night owl's screamsA
Where some lone spirit of the desart gleamsA
And lurid horrors wing the fateful hoursA
Now goaded frenzy grasps my shrinking brainB
Her touch absorbs the crystal fount of woeC
My blood rolls burning through each gasping veinB
Away lost Lyre unless thou can'st bestowC
A charm to lull that agonizing painB
Which those who never lov'd can never knowC
