Sonnet Viii Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDEDFGFHIH| Oft as by chance a little while apart | A |
| The pall of empty loveless hours withdrawn | B |
| Sweet Beauty opening on the impoverished heart | A |
| Beams like the jewel on the breast of dawn | B |
| Not though high heaven should rend would deeper awe | C |
| Fill me than penetrates my spirit thus | D |
| Nor all those signs the Patmian prophet saw | E |
| Seem a new heaven and earth so marvelous | D |
| But clad thenceforth in iridescent dyes | F |
| The fair world glistens and in after days | G |
| The memory of kind lips and laughing eyes | F |
| Lives in my step and lightens all my face | H |
| So they who found the Earthly Paradise | I |
| Still breathed returned of that sweet joyful place | H |
