Sonnets From The Portuguese Xxxviii Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBAACACAD| First time he kissed me he but only kissed | A |
| The fingers of this hand wherewith I write | B |
| And ever since it grew more clean and white | B |
| Slow to world greetings quick with its O list | A |
| When the angels speak A ring of amethyst | A |
| I could not wear here plainer to my sight | B |
| Than that first kiss The second passed in height | B |
| The first and sought the forehead and half missed | A |
| Half falling on the hair O beyond meed | A |
| That was the chrism of love which love's own crown | C |
| With sanctifying sweetness did precede | A |
| The third upon my lips was folded down | C |
| In perfect purple state since when indeed | A |
| I have been proud and said My love my own | D |
