Sonnet Lxi: The Song-throe Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCDAEEAFGGFHH| By thine own tears thy song must tears beget | A |
| O Singer Magic mirror thou hast none | B |
| Except thy manifest heart and save thine own | C |
| Anguish or ardour else no amulet | D |
| Cisterned in Pride verse is the feathery jet | A |
| Of soulless air flung fountains nay more dry | E |
| Than the Dead Sea for throats that thirst and sigh | E |
| That song o'er which no singer's lids grew wet | A |
| The Song god He the Sun god is no slave | F |
| Of thine thy Hunter he who for thy soul | G |
| Fledges his shaft to no august control | G |
| Of thy skilled hand his quivered store he gave | F |
| But if thy lips' loud cry leap to his smart | H |
| The inspir'd recoil shall pierce thy brother's heart | H |
