Sonnet Xxv: A Heavy Heart, Belovèd Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBACBBADEDEDEA 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 |
