Sonnet Xv. From Petrarch Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCEFGFGHI| WHERE the green leaves exclude the summer beam | A |
| And softly bend as balmy breezes blow | B |
| And where with liquid lapse the lucid stream | A |
| Across the fretted rock is heard to flow | B |
| Pensive I lay when she whom Earth conceals | C |
| As if still living to my eyes appears | D |
| And pitying Heaven her angel form reveals | C |
| To say 'Unhappy Petrarch dry your tears | E |
| 'Ah why sad lover thus before your time | F |
| In grief and sadness should your life decay | G |
| And like a blighted flower your manly prime | F |
| In vain and hopeless sorrow fade away | G |
| Ah yield not thus to culpable despair | H |
| But raise thine eyes to Heaven and think I wait thee there ' | I |
