Sonnets From The Portuguese Xxxvi Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBACDCDCDWhen 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 enclasp d 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 |
