Sonnets From The Portuguese Xxxix Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCAABBADEDEDE| Because thou hast the power and own'st the grace | A |
| To look through and behind this mask of me | B |
| Against which years have beat thus blanchingly | C |
| With their rains and behold my soul's true face | A |
| The dim and weary witness of life's race | A |
| Because thou hast the faith and love to see | B |
| Through that same soul's distracting lethargy | B |
| The patient angel waiting for a place | A |
| In the new Heavens because nor sin nor woe | D |
| Nor God's infliction nor death's neighbourhood | E |
| Nor all which others viewing turn to go | D |
| Nor all which makes me tired of all self viewed | E |
| Nothing repels thee Dearest teach me so | D |
| To pour out gratitude as thou dost good | E |
