Sonnet V: I Lift My Heavy Heart Up Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABCADEDEDE| I lift my heavy heart up solemnly | A |
| As once Electra her sepulchral urn | B |
| And looking in thine eyes I overturn | B |
| The ashes at thy feet Behold and see | A |
| What a great heap of grief lay hid in me | A |
| And how the red wild sparkles dimly burn | B |
| Through the ashen greyness If thy foot in scorn | C |
| Could tread them out to darkness utterly | A |
| It might be well perhaps But if instead | D |
| Thou wait beside me for the wind to blow | E |
| The grey dust up those laurels on thine head | D |
| O my Belov d will not shield thee so | E |
| That none of all the fires shall scorch and shred | D |
| The hair beneath Stand farther off then go | E |
