Sonnet Xxxviii: Oh Sigh Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBACDEDED| Oh Sigh thou steal'st the herald of the breast | A |
| The lover's fears the lover's pangs to tell | B |
| Thou bid'st with timid grace the bosom swell | B |
| Cheating the day of joy the night of rest | A |
| Oh lucid Tears with eloquence confest | A |
| Why on my fading cheek unheeded dwell | B |
| Meek as the dew drops on the flowret's bell | B |
| By ruthless tempests to the green sod prest | A |
| Fond sigh be hush'd congeal O slighted tear | C |
| Thy feeble pow'rs the busy Fates control | D |
| Or if thy crystal streams again appear | E |
| Let them like Lethe's oblivion roll | D |
| For Love the tyrant plays when hope is near | E |
| And she who flies the lover chains the soul | D |
