Sonnet Ii: Bridal Birth Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAACCADEFDEFAs when desire long darkling dawns and first | A |
The mother looks upon the newborn child | B |
Even so my Lady stood at gaze and smiled | B |
When her soul knew at length the Love it nurs'd | A |
Born with her life creature of poignant thirst | A |
And exquisite hunger at her heart Love lay | C |
Quickening in darkness till a voice that day | C |
Cried on him and the bonds of birth were burst | A |
Now shadowed by his wings our faces yearn | D |
Together as his full grown feet now range | E |
The grove and his warm hands our couch prepare | F |
Till to his song our bodiless souls in turn | D |
Be born his children when Death's nuptial change | E |
Leaves us for light the halo of his hair | F |
