Sonnet. On The Death Of Mrs. Charlotte Smith Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBCDEEDFFGFFG| Sweet songstress whom the melancholy Muse | A |
| With more than fondness loved for thee she strung | B |
| The lyre on which herself enraptured hung | B |
| And bade thee through the world its sweets diffuse | C |
| Oft hath my childhood's tributary tear | D |
| Paid homage to the sad harmonious strain | E |
| That told alas too true the grief and pain | E |
| Which thy afflicted mind was doom'd to bear | D |
| Rest sainted spirit from a life of woe | F |
| And though no friendly hand on thee bestow | F |
| The stately marble or emblazon'd name | G |
| To tell a thoughtless world who sleeps below | F |
| Yet o'er thy narrow bed a wreath shall blow | F |
| Deriving vigour from the breath of fame | G |
