Sonnet Iii Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCDEDFEDF| There was a youth around whose early way | A |
| White angels hung in converse and sweet choir | B |
| Teaching in summer clouds his thought to stray | A |
| In cloud and far horizon to desire | B |
| His life was nursed in beauty like the stream | C |
| Born of clear showers and the mountain dew | D |
| Close under snow clad summits where they gleam | C |
| Forever pure against heaven's orient blue | D |
| Within the city's shades he walked at last | E |
| Faint and more faint in sad recessional | D |
| Down the dim corridors of Time outworn | F |
| A chorus ebbed from that forsaken past | E |
| A hymn of glories fled beyond recall | D |
| With the lost heights and splendor of life's morn | F |
