Sonnet (how) Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCDEFEFGG| How shall our hearts those fragile shrines of thee | A |
| Forefend the siege of wrackful circumstance | B |
| Or this thy brittle earth wrought beauty be | A |
| The unshaken ultimate fortress of romance | B |
| How shall the Golden Age thy bosom brings | C |
| That home of dreams unharbored otherwhere | D |
| Not fall before this brazen press of things | C |
| Till we too fade like morning phantoms there | D |
| How shall one rose from out our seasons done | E |
| Rear to the rune of any necromant | F |
| When all is over let the cindered sun | E |
| Go down in night no memory shall haunt | F |
| Yes let full fountained Lethe rise and flow | G |
| As on the loves of lovers long ago | G |
