Sonnet 05 Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCADEEDFDDFGG| Hard by the road where on that little mound | A |
| The high grass rustles to the passing breeze | B |
| The child of Misery rests her head in peace | C |
| Pause there in sadness That unhallowed ground | A |
| Inshrines what once was Isabel Sleep on | D |
| Sleep on poor Outcast lovely was thy cheek | E |
| And thy mild eye was eloquent to speak | E |
| The soul of Pity Pale and woe begone | D |
| Soon did thy fair cheek fade and thine eye weep | F |
| The tear of anguish for the babe unborn | D |
| The helpless heir of Poverty and Scorn | D |
| She drank the draught that chill'd her soul to sleep | F |
| I pause and wipe the big drop from mine eye | G |
| Whilst the proud Levite scowls and passes by | G |
