Sonnet: O Poverty! Though From Thy Haggard Eye Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBACDDCEFEGEG| O Poverty though from thy haggard eye | A |
| Thy cheerless mien of every charm bereft | B |
| Thy brow that Hope's last traces long have left | B |
| Vain Fortune's feeble sons with terror fly | A |
| I love thy solitary haunts to seek | C |
| For Pity reckless of her own distress | D |
| And Patience in her pall of wretchedness | D |
| That turns to the bleak storm her faded cheek | C |
| And Piety that never told her wrong | E |
| And meek Content whose griefs no more rebel | F |
| And Genius warbling sweet her saddest song | E |
| And Sorrow listening to a lost friend's knell | G |
| Long banished from the world's insulting throng | E |
| With thee and thy unfriended offspring dwell | G |
