Sonnet Ii: Bridal Birth Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAACCADEFDEF| As 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 |
