Four Sonnets: 02 (i Think I Should Have Loved You Presently) Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCDEFEFGG| I think I should have loved you presently | A |
| And given in earnest words I flung in jest | B |
| And lifted honest eyes for you to see | A |
| And caught your hand against my cheek and breast | B |
| And all my pretty follies flung aside | C |
| That won you to me and beneath your gaze | D |
| Naked of reticence and shorn of pride | C |
| Spread like a chart my little wicked ways | D |
| I that had been to you had you remained | E |
| But one more waking from a recurrent dream | F |
| Cherish no less the certain stakes I gained | E |
| And walk your memory's halls austere supreme | F |
| A ghost in marble of a girl you knew | G |
| Who would have loved you in a day or two | G |
