Sonnet X. To Erskine Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AAAABCCBADDAEE| When British Freedom for an happier land | A |
| Spread her broad wings that fluttered with affright | A |
| Erskine thy voice she heard and paused her flight | A |
| Sublime of hope For dreadless thou didst stand | A |
| Thy censer glowing with the hallowed flame | B |
| An hireless Priest before th' insulted shrine | C |
| And at her altar poured'st the stream divine | C |
| Of unmatched eloquence Therefore thy name | B |
| Her Sons shall venerate and cheer thy breast | A |
| With blessings heavenward breathed And when the doom | D |
| Of Nature bids thee rise beyond the tomb | D |
| Thy light shall shine as sunk beneath the West | A |
| Tho' the great Summer Sun eludes our gaze | E |
| Still burns wide Heaven with his distended blaze | E |
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
