Sonnet Xcvi: Life The Beloved Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCAACCADEFGEF| As thy friend's face with shadow of soul o'erspread | A |
| Somewhile unto thy sight perchance hath been | B |
| Ghastly and strange yet never so is seen | C |
| In thought but to all fortunate favour wed | A |
| As thy love's death bound features never dead | A |
| To memory's glass return but contravene | C |
| Frail fugitive days and alway keep I ween | C |
| Than all new life a livelier lovelihead | A |
| So Life herself thy spirit's friend and love | D |
| Even still as Spring's authentic harbinger | E |
| Glows with fresh hours for hope to glorify | F |
| Though pale she lay when in the winter grove | G |
| Her funeral flowers were snow flakes shed on her | E |
| And the red wings of frost fire rent the sky | F |
