Sonnet Xi: The Love-letter Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBACDDCEE| Warmed by her hand and shadowed by her hair | A |
| As close she leaned and poured her heart through thee | B |
| Whereof the articulate throbs accompany | B |
| The smooth black stream that makes thy whiteness fair | A |
| Sweet fluttering sheet even of her breath aware | A |
| Oh let thy silent song disclose to me | B |
| That soul wherewith her lips and eyes agree | B |
| Like married music in Love's answering air | A |
| Fain had I watched her when at some fond thought | C |
| Her bosom to the writing closelier press'd | D |
| And her breast's secrets peered into her breast | D |
| When through eyes raised an instant her soul sought | C |
| My soul and from the sudden confluence caught | E |
| The words that made her love the loveliest | E |
