Sonnet Xxvii: Heart's Compass Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBCABBADEEDDESometimes thou seem'st not as thyself alone | A |
But as the meaning of all things that are | B |
A breathless wonder shadowing forth afar | B |
Some heavenly solstice hushed and halcyon | C |
Whose unstirred lips are music's visible tone | A |
Whose eyes the sun gate of the soul unbar | B |
Being of its furthest fires oracular | B |
The evident heart of all life sown and mown | A |
Even such Love is and is not thy name Love | D |
Yea by thy hand the Love god rends apart | E |
All gathering clouds of Night's ambiguous art | E |
Flings them far down and sets thine eyes above | D |
And simply as some gage of flower or glove | D |
Stakes with a smile the world against thy heart | E |
Dante Gabriel Rossetti
