Sonnet: At Ostend, July 22nd 1787 Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBACDDCEFFGHI| How sweet the tuneful bells' responsive peal | A |
| As when at opening morn the fragrant breeze | B |
| Breathes on the trembling sense of wan disease | B |
| So piercing to my heart their force I feel | A |
| And hark with lessening cadence now they fall | C |
| And now along the white and level tide | D |
| They fling their melancholy music wide | D |
| Bidding me many a tender thought recall | C |
| Of summer days and those delightful years | E |
| When by my native streams in life's fair prime | F |
| The mournful magic of their mingling chime | F |
| First waked my wond'ring childhood into tears mdash | G |
| But seeming now when all those days are o'er | H |
| The sounds of joy once heard and heard no more | I |
