On The Deaths Of Thomas Carlyle - Sonnets Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBABBCDDC

Two souls diverse out of our human sightA
Pass followed one with love and each with wonderB
The stormy sophist with his mouth of thunderB
Clothed with loud words and mantled in the mightA
Of darkness and magnificence of nightA
And one whose eye could smite the night in sunderB
Searching if light or no light were thereunderB
And found in love of loving kindness lightA
Duty divine and Thought with eyes of fireB
Still following Righteousness with deep desireB
Shone sole and stern before her and aboveC
Sure stars and sole to steer by but more sweetD
Shone lower the loveliest lamp for earthly feetD
The light of little children and their loveC
