Sonnet Xiii. To La Fayette Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABACDEDEFDFDGG| As when far off the warbled strains are heard | A |
| That soar on Morning's wing the vales among | B |
| Within his cage th' imprisoned matin bird | A |
| Swells the full chorus with a generous song | C |
| He bathes no pinion in the dewy light | D |
| No Father's joy no Lover's bliss he shares | E |
| Yet still the rising radiance cheers his sight | D |
| His Fellows' freedom soothes the Captive's cares | E |
| Thou Fayette who didst wake with startling voice | F |
| Life's better Sun from that long wintry night | D |
| Thus in thy Country's triumphs shalt rejoice | F |
| And mock with raptures high the dungeon's might | D |
| For lo the morning struggles into day | G |
| And Slavery's spectres shriek and vanish from the ray | G |
