Sonnet Xxvi: Mid-rapture Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAACCADEFDGA| Thou lovely and beloved thou my love | A |
| Whose kiss seems still the first whose summoning eyes | B |
| Even now as for our love world's new sunrise | B |
| Shed very dawn whose voice attuned above | A |
| All modulation of the deep bowered dove | A |
| Is like a hand laid softly on the soul | C |
| Whose hand is like a sweet voice to control | C |
| Those worn tired brows it hath the keeping of | A |
| What word can answer to thy word what gaze | D |
| To thine which now absorbs within its sphere | E |
| My worshipping face till I am mirrored there | F |
| Light circled in a heaven of deep drawn rays | D |
| What clasp what kiss mine inmost heart can prove | G |
| O lovely and beloved O my love | A |
