Sonnet Xxii Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBACDCDCDWhen our two souls stand up erect and strong | A |
Face to face silent drawing nigh and nigher | B |
Until the lengthening wings break into fire | B |
At either curved point what bitter wrong | A |
Can the earth do to us that we should not long | A |
Be here contented Think In mounting higher | B |
The angels would press on us and aspire | B |
To drop some golden orb of perfect song | A |
Into our deep dear silence Let us stay | C |
Rather on earth Beloved where the unfit | D |
Contrarious moods of men recoil away | C |
And isolate pure spirits and permit | D |
A place to stand and love in for a day | C |
With darkness and the death hour rounding it | D |
