A Study From Memory - Sonnets Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBCCBBCDEEDFF| If that be yet a living soul which here | A |
| Seemed brighter for the growth of numbered springs | B |
| And clothed by Time and Pain with goodlier things | B |
| Each year it saw fulfilled a fresh fleet year | C |
| Death can have changed not aught that made it dear | C |
| Half humorous goodness grave eyed mirth on wings | B |
| Bright balanced blither voiced than quiring strings | B |
| Most radiant patience crowned with conquering cheer | C |
| A spirit inviolable that smiled and sang | D |
| By might of nature and heroic need | E |
| More sweet and strong than loftiest dream or deed | E |
| A song that shone a light whence music rang | D |
| High as the sunniest heights of kindliest thought | F |
| All these must be or all she was be nought | F |
