Sonnet Lxxiii. Translation Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBCDBBCEFGEGF| He who a tender long lov'd Wife survives | A |
| Sees himself sunder'd from the only mind | B |
| Whose hopes and fears and interests were combin'd | B |
| And blended with his own No more she lives | C |
| No more alas her death numb'd ear receives | D |
| His thoughts that trace the Past or anxious wind | B |
| The Future's darkling maze His wish refin'd | B |
| The wish to please exists no more that gives | C |
| The will its energy the nerves their tone | E |
| He feels the texture of his quiet torn | F |
| And stopt the settled course that Action drew | G |
| Life stands suspended motionless till thrown | E |
| By outward causes into channels new | G |
| But in the dread suspense how sinks the Soul forlorn | F |
