Sonnet Xviii Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCDEFEGHHSINCE in the pleasant time of opening flowers | A |
That flow'r Her life was doom'd to fade away | B |
Since Her dear loss hath shaded lovely hours | A |
And turn'd to mourning all the smiles of May | B |
Henceforward when the warm soft breath of Spring | C |
Bids cowslips star the meadows thick and sweet | D |
When doves are in the green wood murmuring | C |
And children wander with delighted feet | D |
When by their own rich beauty downward bent | E |
Soft Guelder roses hang their tufts of snow | F |
And purple lilacs yield a fagrant scent | E |
And bright laburnum droops its yellow bough | G |
Let that Spring time be welcomed with a sigh | H |
For Her lamented Rake who was so young to die | H |
