Sonnet Lxxxix: The Trees Of The Garden Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAACCADEEDFF| Ye who have passed Death's haggard hills and ye | A |
| Whom trees that knew your sires shall cease to know | B |
| And still stand silent is it all a show | B |
| A wisp that laughs upon the wall decree | A |
| Of some inexorable supremacy | A |
| Which ever as man strains his blind surmise | C |
| From depth to ominous depth looks past his eyes | C |
| Sphinx faced with unabash d augury | A |
| Nay rather question the Earth's self Invoke | D |
| The storm felled forest trees moss grown to day | E |
| Whose roots are hillocks where the children play | E |
| Or ask the silver sapling 'neath what yoke | D |
| Those stars his spray crown's clustering gems shall wage | F |
| Their journey still when his boughs shrink with age | F |
