Sonnet Xiv Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AAAAAAAAABCABC| IT may be for the world of weeds and tares | A |
| And dearth in Nature of sweet Beauty's rose | A |
| That oft as Fortune from ten thousand shows | A |
| One from the train of Love's true courtiers | A |
| Straightway on him who gazes unawares | A |
| Deep wonder seizes and swift trembling grows | A |
| Reft by that sight of purpose and repose | A |
| Hardly its weight his fainting breast upbears | A |
| Then on the soul from some ancestral place | A |
| Floods back remembrance of its heavenly birth | B |
| When in the light of that serener sphere | C |
| It saw ideal beauty face to face | A |
| That through the forms of this our meaner Earth | B |
| Shines with a beam less steadfast and less clear | C |
