Sonnet Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBACDECDE| Methinks ofttimes my heart is like some bee | A |
| That goes forth through the summer day and sings | B |
| And gathers honey from all growing things | B |
| In garden plot or on the clover lea | A |
| When the long afternoon grows late and she | A |
| Would seek her hive she cannot lift her wings | B |
| So heavily the too sweet burden clings | B |
| From which she would not and yet would fly free | A |
| So with my full fond heart for when it tries | C |
| To lift itself to peace crowned heights above | D |
| The common way where countless feet have trod | E |
| Lo then this burden of dear human ties | C |
| This growing weight of precious earthly love | D |
| Binds down the spirit that would soar to God | E |
