Sonnet Xv: The Birth-bond Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAACCADEDEEF| Have you not noted in some family | A |
| Where two were born of a first marriage bed | B |
| How still they own their gracious bond though fed | B |
| And nursed on the forgotten breast and knee | A |
| How to their father's children they shall be | A |
| In act and thought of one goodwill but each | C |
| Shall for the other have in silence speech | C |
| And in a word complete community | A |
| Even so when first I saw you seemed it love | D |
| That among souls allied to mine was yet | E |
| One nearer kindred than life hinted of | D |
| O born with me somewhere that men forget | E |
| And though in years of sight and sound unmet | E |
| Known for my soul's birth partner well enough | F |
