Sonnet Xxxi: Her Gifts Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCAACCCDBBDEF| High grace the dower of queens and therewithal | A |
| Some wood born wonder's sweet simplicity | B |
| A glance like water brimming with the sky | C |
| Or hyacinth light where forest shadows fall | A |
| Such thrilling pallor of cheek as doth enthral | A |
| The heart a mouth whose passionate forms imply | C |
| All music and all silence held thereby | C |
| Deep golden locks her sovereign coronal | C |
| A round reared neck meet column of Love's shrine | D |
| To cling to when the heart takes sanctuary | B |
| Hands which for ever at Love's bidding be | B |
| And soft stirred feet still answering to his sign | D |
| These are her gifts as tongue may tell them o'er | E |
| Breathe low her name my soul for that means more | F |
