Sonnet: - Xxi Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBCADEEDEFCFC| Intense young soul that takest hearts by storm | A |
| And chills them into sorrow with a look | B |
| Some minds are open as a well read book | B |
| But here the leaves are still uncut unscanned | C |
| The volume clasped and sealed and all the warm | A |
| And passionate exuberance of love | D |
| Held in submission to these threadbare flaws | E |
| And creeds of weaknesses poor human laws | E |
| Stand up erect nay kneel for from above | D |
| God's light is streaming on thee Fashion's daws | E |
| May fawn and natter like a cringing pack | F |
| Of servile hounds beneath the keeper's hand | C |
| But these are not thy peers they drive thee back | F |
| Urge on the car of Thought and take a higher stand | C |
