Sonnet Iv: Thou Hast Thy Calling Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBACBBADEDEDE| Thou hast thy calling to some palace floor | A |
| Most gracious singer of high poems where | B |
| The dancers will break footing from the care | B |
| Of watching up thy pregnant lips for more | A |
| And dost thou lift this house's latch too poor | C |
| For hand of thine and canst thou think and bear | B |
| To let thy music drip here unaware | B |
| In folds of golden fulness at my door | A |
| Look up and see the casement broken in | D |
| The bats and owlets builders in the roof | E |
| My cricket chirps against thy mandolin | D |
| Hush call no echo up in further proof | E |
| Of desolation there's a voice within | D |
| That weeps as thou must sing alone aloof | E |
