Sonnet I: Love Enthroned Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBACDCDEC| I marked all kindred Powers the heart finds fair | A |
| Truth with awed lips and Hope with eyes upcast | B |
| And Fame whose loud wings fan the ashen Past | B |
| To signal fires Oblivion's flight to scare | A |
| And Youth with still some single golden hair | A |
| Unto his shoulder clinging since the last | B |
| Embrace wherein two sweet arms held him fast | B |
| And Life still wreathing flowers for Death to wear | A |
| Love's throne was not with these but far above | C |
| All passionate wind of welcome and farewell | D |
| He sat in breathless bowers they dream not of | C |
| Though Truth foreknow Love's heart and Hope foretell | D |
| And Fame be for Love's sake desirable | E |
| And Youth be dear and Life be sweet to Love | C |
