Sonnet--the Neophyte Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBA ABBA CDCDCD| Who knows what days I answer for to day | A |
| Giving the bud I give the flower I bow | B |
| This yet unfaded and a faded brow | B |
| Bending these knees and feeble knees I pray | A |
| - | |
| Thoughts yet unripe in me I bend one way | A |
| Give one repose to pain I know not now | B |
| One leaven to joy that comes I guess not how | B |
| I dedicate my fields when Spring is grey | A |
| - | |
| Oh rash I smile to pledge my hidden wheat | C |
| I fold to day at altars far apart | D |
| Hands trembling with what toils In their retreat | C |
| I seal my love to be my folded art | D |
| I light the tapers at my head and feet | C |
| And lay the crucifix on this silent heart | D |
