Sonnets V Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBACDCDCD| Once more into my arid days like dew | A |
| Like wind from an oasis or the sound | B |
| Of cold sweet water bubbling underground | B |
| A treacherous messenger the thought of you | A |
| Comes to destroy me once more I renew | A |
| Firm faith in your abundance whom I found | B |
| Long since to be but just one other mound | B |
| Of sand whereon no green thing ever grew | A |
| And once again and wiser in no wise | C |
| I chase your colored phantom on the air | D |
| And sob and curse and fall and weep and rise | C |
| And stumble pitifully on to where | D |
| Miserable and lost with stinging eyes | C |
| Once more I clasp and there is nothing there | D |
