Sonnet (empress) Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AAAAAAAAABAACA| Empress with eyes more sad and aureate | A |
| Than sunset ebbing on a summer coast | A |
| What gold chimera lovest thou the most | A |
| What gryphon with emblazoned wings elate | A |
| Or dragon straying from the dim estate | A |
| Of kings that sway the continents uttermost | A |
| Of old Saturnus Or what god or ghost | A |
| Or spacial demon for thy spirit's mate | A |
| Art fain to choose Howbeit in thy heart | A |
| Though void as now to vision and desire | B |
| The days and years deny thee shall abide | A |
| The passion of the impossible the pride | A |
| Of lust immortal for the monstrous ire | C |
| And pain of love in scarlet worlds apart | A |
