Sonnets From The Portuguese V Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBACDCDCD| WHEN our two souls stand up erect and strong | A |
| nbsp nbsp nbsp Face to face silent drawing nigh and nigher | B |
| nbsp nbsp nbsp Until the lengthening wings break into fire | B |
| At either curving point what bitter wrong | A |
| Can the earth do us that we should not long | A |
| nbsp nbsp nbsp Be here contented Think In mounting higher | B |
| nbsp nbsp nbsp 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 |
| nbsp nbsp nbsp Rather on earth Beloved where the unfit | D |
| Contrarious moods of men recoil away | C |
| nbsp nbsp nbsp And isolate pure spirits and permit | D |
| A place to stand and love in for a day | C |
| nbsp nbsp nbsp With darkness and the death hour rounding it | D |
