Sonnets On Separation V Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCDEFEFGG| Through the closed curtains comes the early sun | A |
| First a pale finger preluding the hand | B |
| Outside more certainly the day's begun | A |
| Where bright and brighter still the chestnuts stand | B |
| Broad candles lighting up at the first fire | C |
| I stir and turn in my uneasy sleep | D |
| But in my sorrow sleep's my whole desire | C |
| About the still room small lights move and creep | D |
| Silently stealthily on wall and chair | E |
| Till to strong rays and shining lights they grow | F |
| Which with their magic change the waiting air | E |
| And all its sleeping motes to gold and throw | F |
| A golden radiance on your empty bed | G |
| Which wakes me with vain likeness to your head | G |
