Sonnet Xiii Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAACDAEFGFGFAnd 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 |
