Sonnet Xii: The Lovers' Walk Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBACDECCESweet twining hedgeflowers wind stirred in no wise | A |
On this June day and hand that clings in hand | B |
Still glades and meeting faces scarcely fann'd | B |
An osier odoured stream that draws the skies | A |
Deep to its heart and mirrored eyes in eyes | A |
Fresh hourly wonder o'er the Summer land | B |
Of light and cloud and two souls softly spann'd | B |
With one o'erarching heaven of smiles and sighs | A |
Even such their path whose bodies lean unto | C |
Each other's visible sweetness amorously | D |
Whose passionate hearts lean by Love's high decree | E |
Together on his heart for ever true | C |
As the cloud foaming firmamental blue | C |
Rests on the blue line of a foamless sea | E |
