Sonnet 10 Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBACDCDEEFGFG| How darkly o'er yon far off mountain frowns | A |
| The gather'd tempest from that lurid cloud | B |
| The deep voiced thunders roll aweful and loud | B |
| Tho' distant while upon the misty downs | A |
| Fast falls in shadowy streaks the pelting rain | C |
| I never saw so terrible a storm | D |
| Perhaps some way worn traveller in vain | C |
| Wraps his torn raiment round his shivering form | D |
| Cold even as Hope within him I the while | E |
| Pause me in sadness tho' the sunbeams smile | E |
| Cheerily round me Ah that thus my lot | F |
| Might be with Peace and Solitude assign'd | G |
| Where I might from some little quiet cot | F |
| Sigh for the crimes and miseries of mankind | G |
