Sonnet Lxxxii: Hoarded Joy Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAACCADEDEAA| I said Nay pluck not let the first fruit be | A |
| Even as thou sayest it is sweet and red | B |
| But let it ripen still The tree's bent head | B |
| Sees in the stream its own fecundity | A |
| And bides the day of fulness Shall not we | A |
| At the sun's hour that day possess the shade | C |
| And claim our fruit before its ripeness fade | C |
| And eat it from the branch and praise the tree | A |
| I say Alas our fruit hath wooed the sun | D |
| Too long 'tis fallen and floats adown the stream | E |
| Lo the last clusters Pluck them every one | D |
| And let us sup with summer ere the gleam | E |
| Of autumn set the year's pent sorrow free | A |
| And the woods wail like echoes from the sea | A |
