Sonnets On Separation Ii Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCDEFEFGG| The time is all so short One week is much | A |
| To be without your deep and peaceful eyes | B |
| Your soft and all contenting cheek the touch | A |
| Of well caressing hands O were we wise | B |
| We would not love too strongly would not bind | C |
| Life into life so inextricably | D |
| That the dumb body suffers with the mind | C |
| In a sad partnership this agony | D |
| For death will come and swallow up us two | E |
| You there I here and we shall lie apart | F |
| Out of the houses and the woods we knew | E |
| Then in the lonely grave my dust choked heart | F |
| Out of the dust will raise if it can speak | G |
| A threnody for this lost lovely week | G |
