Miscellaneous Sonnets, 1842 - Ii - The Most Alluring Clouds That Mount The Sky Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: ABABCACADEDEFF

The most alluring clouds that mount the skyA
Owe to a troubled element their formsB
Their hues to sunset If with raptured eyeA
We watch their splendour shall we covet stormsB
And wish the Lord of day his slow declineC
Would hasten that such pomp may float on highA
Behold already they forget to shineC
Dissolve and leave to him who gazed a sighA
Not loth to thank each moment for its boonD
Of pure delight come whencesoe'er it mayE
Peace let us seek to steadfast things attuneD
Calm expectations leaving to the gayE
And volatile their love of transient bowersF
The house that cannot pass away be oursF

William Wordsworth
