Sonnet Xxxvi: When We Met First Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBACDCDCD| When we met first and loved I did not build | A |
| Upon the event with marble Could it mean | B |
| To last a love set pendulous between | B |
| Sorrow and sorrow Nay I rather thrilled | A |
| Distrusting every light that seemed to gild | A |
| The onward path and feared to overlean | B |
| A finger even And though I have grown serene | B |
| And strong since then I think that God has willed | A |
| A still renewable fear O love O troth | C |
| Lest these enclasped hands should never hold | D |
| This mutual kiss drop down between us both | C |
| As an unowned thing once the lips being cold | D |
| And Love be false if he to keep one oath | C |
| Must lose one joy by his life's star foretold | D |
