To The Nightingale Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCAABBAADADAA| Sweet bird that sing'st away the early hours | A |
| Of winters past or coming void of care | B |
| Well pleased with delights which present are | C |
| Fair seasons budding sprays sweet smelling flowers | A |
| To rocks to springs to rills from leafy bowers | A |
| Thou thy Creator's goodness dost declare | B |
| And what dear gifts on thee He did not spare | B |
| A stain to human sense in sin that lours | A |
| What soul can be so sick which by thy songs | A |
| Attired in sweetness sweetly is not driven | D |
| Quite to forget earth's turmoils spites and wrongs | A |
| And lift a reverend eye and thought to heaven | D |
| Sweet artless songster thou my mind dost raise | A |
| To airs of spheres yes and to angels' lays | A |
