Sonnet Xl: Severed Selves Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBCCDDCEFFEEF| Two separate divided silences | A |
| Which brought together would find loving voice | B |
| Two glances which together would rejoice | B |
| In love now lost like stars beyond dark trees | C |
| Two hands apart whose touch alone gives ease | C |
| Two bosoms which heart shrined with mutual flame | D |
| Would meeting in one clasp be made the same | D |
| Two souls the shores wave mocked of sundering seas | C |
| Such are we now Ah may our hope forecast | E |
| Indeed one hour again when on this stream | F |
| Of darkened love once more the light shall gleam | F |
| An hour how slow to come how quickly past | E |
| Which blooms and fades and only leaves at last | E |
| Faint as shed flowers the attenuated dream | F |
