Dickens: Sonnets Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBACDECFE| CHIEF in thy generation born of men | A |
| Whom English praise acclaimed as English born | B |
| With eyes that matched the worldwide eyes of morn | B |
| For gleam of tears or laughter tenderest then | A |
| When thoughts of children warmed their light or when | A |
| Reverence of age with love and labour worn | B |
| Or godlike pity fired with godlike scorn | B |
| Shot through them flame that winged thy swift live pen | A |
| Where stars and suns that we behold not burn | C |
| Higher even than here though highest was here thy place | D |
| Love sees thy spirit laugh and speak and shine | E |
| With Shakespeare and the soft bright soul of Sterne | C |
| And Fielding s kindliest might and Goldsmith s grace j | F |
| Scarce one more loved or worthier love than thine | E |
