Sonnet. To A Lyre Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCDEFGFHI| Friend of the lonely hour from thy lov'd strain | A |
| The magic pow'r of pleasure have I known | B |
| Awhile I lose remembrance of my pain | A |
| And seem to taste of joys that long had flown | B |
| When o'er my suffering soul reflection casts | C |
| The gloom of sorrow's sable shadowing veil | D |
| Recalling sad misfortunes chilling blasts | C |
| How sweet to thee to tell the mournful tale | D |
| And tho' denied to me the strings to move | E |
| Like heavenly gifted bards to whom belong | F |
| The power to melt the yielding soul to love | G |
| Or wake to war with energetic song | F |
| Yet thou my Lyre canst cheer the gloomy hour | H |
| When sullen grief asserts her tyrant pow'r | I |
