Sonnet Lxxvii: Soul's Beauty Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCADBBDEFGGFE| Under the arch of Life where love and death | A |
| Terror and mystery guard her shrine I saw | B |
| Beauty enthroned and though her gaze struck awe | C |
| I drew it in as simply as my breath | A |
| Hers are the eyes which over and beneath | D |
| The sky and sea bend on thee which can draw | B |
| By sea or sky or woman to one law | B |
| The allotted bondman of her palm and wreath | D |
| This is that Lady Beauty in whose praise | E |
| Thy voice and hand shake still long known to thee | F |
| By flying hair and fluttering hem the beat | G |
| Following her daily of thy heart and feet | G |
| How passionately and irretrievably | F |
| In what fond flight how many ways and days | E |
