Sonnet Xxv: A Heavy Heart, Belovèd Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBACBBADEDEDE| A heavy heart Belov d have I borne | A |
| From year to year until I saw thy face | B |
| And sorrow after sorrow took the place | B |
| Of all those natural joys as lightly worn | A |
| As the stringed pearls each lifted in its turn | C |
| By a beating heart at dance time Hopes apace | B |
| Were changed to long despairs till God's own grace | B |
| Could scarcely lift above the world forlorn | A |
| My heavy heart Than thou didst bid me bring | D |
| And let it drop adown thy calmly great | E |
| Deep being Fast it sinketh as a thing | D |
| Which its own nature doth precipitate | E |
| While thine doth close above it mediating | D |
| Betwixt the stars and the unaccomplished fate | E |
