Sonnet Iii: Love's Testament Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAACCADEEDDE| O thou who at Love's hour ecstatically | A |
| Unto my heart dost evermore present | B |
| Clothed with his fire thy heart his testament | B |
| Whom I have neared and felt thy breath to be | A |
| The inmost incense of his sanctuary | A |
| Who without speech hast owned him and intent | C |
| Upon his will thy life with mine hast blent | C |
| And murmured I am thine thou'rt one with me | A |
| O what from thee the grace to me the prize | D |
| And what to Love the glory when the whole | E |
| Of the deep stair thou tread'st to the dim shoal | E |
| And weary water of the place of sighs | D |
| And there dost work deliverance as thine eyes | D |
| Draw up my prisoned spirit to thy soul | E |
