Sonnet Xiii Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAACDAEFGFGF| And wilt thou have me fashion into speech | A |
| The love I bear thee finding words enough | B |
| And hold the torch out while the winds are rough | B |
| Between our faces to cast light on each | A |
| I drop it at thy feet I cannot teach | A |
| My hand to hold my spirit so far off | C |
| From myself me that I should bring thee proof | D |
| In words of love hid in me out of reach | A |
| Nay let the silence of my womanhood | E |
| Commend my woman love to thy belief | F |
| Seeing that I stand unwon however wooed | G |
| And rend the garment of my life in brief | F |
| By a most dauntless voiceless fortitude | G |
| Lest one touch of this heart convey its grief | F |
