Sonnet Xvi: And Yet, Because Thou Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBACDCEFDAnd yet because thou overcomest so | A |
Because thou art more noble and like a king | B |
Thou canst prevail against my fears and fling | B |
Thy purple round me till my heart shall grow | A |
Too close against thine heart henceforth to know | A |
How it shook when alone Why conquering | B |
May prove as lordly and complete a thing | B |
In lifting upward as in crushing low | A |
And as a vanquished soldier yields his sword | C |
To one who lifts him from the bloody earth | D |
Even so Belov d I at last record | C |
Here ends my strife If thou invite me forth | E |
I rise above abasement at the word | F |
Make thy love larger to enlarge my worth | D |
