Sonnet Xxxvii: When, In The Gloomy Mansion Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBACDCDCD| When in the gloomy mansion of the dead | A |
| This with'ring heart this faded form shall sleep | B |
| When these fond eyes at length shall cease to weep | B |
| And earth's cold lap receive this fev'rish head | A |
| Envy shall turn away a tear to shed | A |
| And Time's obliterating pinions sweep | B |
| The spot where poets shall their vigils keep | B |
| To mourn and wander near my freezing bed | A |
| Then my pale ghost upon th' Elysian shore | C |
| Shall smile releas'd from ev'ry mortal care | D |
| Whil doom'd love's victim to repine no more | C |
| My breast shall bathe in endless rapture there | D |
| Ah no my restless shade would still deplore | C |
| Nor taste that bliss which Phaon did not share | D |
