Sonnet Iv Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCAADDAEFGEFG| Up at his attic sill the South wind came | A |
| And days of sun and storm but never peace | B |
| Along the town's tumultuous arteries | C |
| He heard the heart throbs of a sentient frame | A |
| Each night the whistles in the bay the same | A |
| Whirl of incessant wheels and clanging cars | D |
| For smoke that half obscured the circling stars | D |
| Burnt like his youth with but a sickly flame | A |
| Up to his attic came the city cries | E |
| The throes with which her iron sinews heave | F |
| And yet forever behind prison doors | G |
| Welled in his heart and trembled in his eyes | E |
| The light that hangs on desert hills at eve | F |
| And tints the sea on solitary shores | G |
