Sonnet Ii Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBACDDAEFGEFG| Her courts are by the flux of flaming ways | A |
| Between the rivers and the illumined sky | B |
| Whose fervid depths reverberate from on high | B |
| Fierce lustres mingled in a fiery haze | A |
| They mark it inland blithe and fair of face | C |
| Her suitors follow guessing by the glare | D |
| Beyond the hilltops in the evening air | D |
| How bright the cressets at her portals blaze | A |
| On the pure fronts Defeat ere many a day | E |
| Falls like the soot and dirt on city snow | F |
| There hopes deferred lie sunk in piteous seams | G |
| Her paths are disillusion and decay | E |
| With ruins piled and unapparent woe | F |
| The graves of Beauty and the wreck of dreams | G |
