Sonnet: - Ii Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABACBDCEFFEDFF| 'Tis summer still yet now and then a leaf | A |
| Falls from some stately tree True type of life | B |
| How emblamatic of the pangs that grief | A |
| Wrings from our blighted hopes that one by one | C |
| Drop from us in our wrestle with the strife | B |
| And natural passions of our stately youth | D |
| And thus we fall beneath life's summer sun | C |
| Each step conducts us through an opening door | E |
| Into new halls of being hand in hand | F |
| With grave Experience until we command | F |
| The open wide spread autumn fields and store | E |
| The full ripe grain of Wisdom and of Truth | D |
| As on life's tott'ring precipice we stand | F |
| Our sins like withered leaves are blown about the land | F |
