Sonnet Xviii: I Never Gave A Lock Of Hair Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBACDEDFD| I never gave a lock of hair away | A |
| To a man dearest except this to thee | B |
| Which now upon my fingers thoughtfully | B |
| I ring out to the full brown length and say | A |
| Take it My day of youth went yesterday | A |
| My hair no longer bounds to my foot's glee | B |
| Nor plant I it from rose or myrtle tree | B |
| As girls do any more it only may | A |
| Now shade on two pale cheeks the mark of tears | C |
| Taught drooping from the head that hangs aside | D |
| Through sorrow's trick I thought the funeral shears | E |
| Would take this first but Love is justified | D |
| Take it thou finding pure from all those years | F |
| The kiss my mother left here when she died | D |
