Sonnet On The Death Of Mr Richard West Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCBCBCDECFCGCIn vain to me the smiling mornings shine | A |
And redd'ning Phoebus lifts his golden fire | B |
The birds in vain their amorous descant join | C |
Or cheerful fields resume their green attire | B |
These ears alas for other notes repine | C |
A different object do these eyes require | B |
My lonely anguish melts no heart but mine | C |
And in my breast the imperfect joys expire | D |
Yet morning smiles the busy race to cheer | E |
And new born pleasure brings to happier men | C |
The fields to all their wonted tribute bear | F |
To warm their little loves the birds complain | C |
I fruitless mourn to him that cannot hear | G |
And weep the more because I weep in vain | C |
