A Poet's Sonnet Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBA ABBA CBD CBD| If I should quit thee sacrifice forswear | A |
| To what my art shall I give thee in keeping | B |
| To the long winds of heaven Shall these come sweeping | B |
| My songs forgone against my face and hair | A |
| - | |
| Or shall the mountain streams my lost joys bear | A |
| My past poetic pain in the rain be weeping | B |
| No I shall live a poet waking sleeping | B |
| And I shall die a poet unaware | A |
| - | |
| From me my art thou canst not pass away | C |
| And I a singer though I cease to sing | B |
| Shall own thee without joy in thee or woe | D |
| - | |
| Through my indifferent words of every day | C |
| Scattered and all unlinked the rhymes shall ring | B |
| And make my poem and I shall not know | D |
