Sonnet On The Death Of Mr Richard West Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCBCBCDECFCGC| In 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 |
