Sonnet Xcviii: He And I Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBACBBCCB| Whence came his feet into my field and why | A |
| How is it that he sees it all so drear | B |
| How do I see his seeing and how hear | B |
| The name his bitter silence knows it by | A |
| This was the little fold of separate sky | A |
| Whose pasturing clouds in the soul's atmosphere | B |
| Drew living light from one continual year | B |
| How should he find it lifeless He or I | A |
| Lo this new Self now wanders round my field | C |
| With plaints for every flower and for each tree | B |
| A moan the sighing wind's auxiliary | B |
| And o'er sweet waters of my life that yield | C |
| Unto his lips no draught but tears unseal'd | C |
| Even in my place he weeps Even I not he | B |
