Sonnet Xxxviii: The Morrow's Message Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBACDDCCD| Thou Ghost I said and is thy name To day | A |
| Yesterday's son with such an abject brow | B |
| And can To morrow be more pale than thou | B |
| While yet I spoke the silence answered Yea | A |
| Henceforth our issue is all grieved and grey | A |
| And each beforehand makes such poor avow | B |
| As of old leaves beneath the budding bough | B |
| Or night drift that the sundawn shreds away | A |
| Then cried I Mother of many malisons | C |
| O Earth receive me to thy dusty bed | D |
| But therewithal the tremulous silence said | D |
| Lo Love yet bids thy lady greet thee once | C |
| Yea twice whereby thy life is still the sun's | C |
| And thrice whereby the shadow of death is dead | D |
