Caelia - Sonnet - 5 Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBBBCCBDBEFF| Sing soft ye pretty birds while C lia sleeps | A |
| And gentle gales play gently with the leaves | B |
| Learn of the neighbour brooks whose silent deeps | B |
| Would teach him fear that her soft sleep bereaves | B |
| Mine oaten reed devoted to her praise | B |
| A theme that would befit the Delphian lyre | C |
| Give way that I in silence may admire | C |
| Is not her sleep like that of innocents | B |
| Sweet as herself and is she not more fair | D |
| Almost in death than are the ornaments | B |
| Of fruitful trees which newly budding are | E |
| She is and tell it Truth when she shall lie | F |
| And sleep for ever for she cannot die | F |
