Sonnet Lxxxvi: Lost Days Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBCDEDEDE| The lost days of my life until to day | A |
| What were they could I see them on the street | B |
| Lie as they fell Would they be ears of wheat | B |
| Sown once for food but trodden into clay | A |
| Or golden coins squandered and still to pay | A |
| Or drops of blood dabbling the guilty feet | B |
| Or such spilt water as in dreams must cheat | B |
| The undying throats of Hell athirst alway | C |
| I do not see them here but after death | D |
| God knows I know the faces I shall see | E |
| Each one a murdered self with low last breath | D |
| I am thyself what hast thou done to me | E |
| And I and I thyself lo each one saith | D |
| And thou thyself to all eternity | E |
