Sonnet : To A Balloon Laden With Knowledge Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBCDEFEGHIJKA| Bright ball of flame that through the gloom of even | A |
| Silently takest thine aethereal way | B |
| And with surpassing glory dimm'st each ray | B |
| Twinkling amid the dark blue depths of Heaven | C |
| Unlike the fire thou bearest soon shalt thou | D |
| Fade like a meteor in surrounding gloom | E |
| Whilst that unquenchable is doomed to glow | F |
| A watch light by the patriot's lonely tomb | E |
| A ray of courage to the oppressed and poor | G |
| A spark though gleaming on the hovel s hearth | H |
| Which through the tyrant s gilded domes shall roar | I |
| A beacon in the darkness of the Earth | J |
| A sun which o'er the renovated scene | K |
| Shall dart like Truth where Falsehood yet has been | A |
