Sonnet (from The Portuguese Of Semedo) Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBACDCDCD| It is a fearful night a feeble glare | A |
| Streams from the sick moon in the o'erclouded sky | B |
| The ridgy billows with a mighty cry | B |
| Rush on the foamy beaches wild and bare | A |
| No bark the madness of the waves will dare | A |
| The sailors sleep the winds are loud and high | B |
| Ah peerless Laura for whose love I die | B |
| Who gazes on thy smiles while I despair | A |
| As thus in bitterness of heart I cried | C |
| I turned and saw my Laura kind and bright | D |
| A messenger of gladness at my side | C |
| To my poor bark she sprang with footstep light | D |
| And as we furrowed Tago's heaving tide | C |
| I never saw so beautiful a night | D |
