Sonnet 16 Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCACDEDEFEF| WHEN I remember with what buoyant heart | A |
| Midst war's alarms and woes of civil strife | B |
| In youthful eagerness thou didst depart | A |
| At peril of thy safety peace and life | B |
| To nurse the wounded soldier swathe the dead | C |
| How pierc d soon by fever's poisoned dart | A |
| And brought unconscious home with wildered head | C |
| Thou ever since mid languor and dull pain | D |
| To conquer fortune cherish kindred dear | E |
| Hast with grave studies vexed a sprightly brain | D |
| In myriad households kindled love and cheer | E |
| Ne'er from thyself by Fame's loud trump beguiled | F |
| Sounding in this and the farther hemisphere | E |
| I press thee to my heart as Duty's faithful child | F |
