Sonnet Xcvii: A Superscription Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBCCBDCEFFEEF| Look in my face my name is Might have been | A |
| I am also called No more Too late Farewell | B |
| Unto thine ear I hold the dead sea shell | B |
| Cast up thy Life's foam fretted feet between | C |
| Unto thine eyes the glass where that is seen | C |
| Which had Life's form and Love's but by my spell | B |
| Is now a shaken shadow intolerable | D |
| Of ultimate things unuttered the frail screen | C |
| Mark me how still I am But should there dart | E |
| One moment through thy soul the soft surprise | F |
| Of that winged Peace which lulls the breath of sighs | F |
| Then shalt thou see me smile and turn apart | E |
| Thy visage to mine ambush at thy heart | E |
| Sleepless with cold commemorative eyes | F |
