Sonnet Xii. To Mrs. Siddons Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDDCECFCGG| As when a child on some long winter's night | A |
| Affrighted clinging to its Grandam's knees | B |
| With eager wond'ring and perturbed delight | A |
| Listens strange tales of fearful dark decrees | B |
| Muttered to wretch by necromantic spell | C |
| Or of those hags who at the witching time | D |
| Of murky midnight ride the air sublime | D |
| And mingle foul embrace with fiends of Hell | C |
| Cold Horror drinks its blood Anon the tear | E |
| More gentle starts to hear the Beldame tell | C |
| Of pretty babes that loved each other dear | F |
| Murdered by cruel Uncle's mandate fell | C |
| Ev'n such the shiv'ring joys thy tones impart | G |
| Ev'n so thou Siddons meltest my sad heart | G |
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
