Sonnet X Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBACDCDEEFGFGHow 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 |
