Visions - Sonnet - 3 Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCDEFEFGG| Down in a valley by a forest's side | A |
| Near where the crystal Thames rolls on her waves | B |
| I saw a mushroom stand in haughty pride | A |
| As if the lilies grew to be his slaves | B |
| The gentle daisy with her silver crown | C |
| Worn in the breast of many a shepherd's lass | D |
| The humble violet that lowly down | C |
| Salutes the gay nymphs as they trimly pass | D |
| These with a many more methought complain'd | E |
| That Nature should those needless things produce | F |
| Which not alone the sun from others gain'd | E |
| But turn it wholly to their proper use | F |
| I could not choose but grieve that Nature made | G |
| So glorious flowers to live in such a shade | G |
