Sonnet 02 Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABAACDCEFFGHHGNot that I always struck the proper mean | A |
Of what mankind must give for what they gain | B |
But when I think of those whom dull routine | A |
And the pursuit of cheerless toil enchain | A |
Who from their desk chairs seeing a summer cloud | C |
Race through blue heaven on its joyful course | D |
Sigh sometimes for a life less cramped and bowed | C |
I think I might have done a great deal worse | E |
For I have ever gone untied and free | F |
The stars and my high thoughts for company | F |
Wet with the salt spray and the mountain showers | G |
I have had the sense of space and amplitude | H |
And love in many places silver shoed | H |
Has come and scattered all my path with flowers | G |
