The Sonnet Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBACDCCDC| Alone it stands in Poesy's fair land | A |
| A temple by the muses set apart | B |
| A perfect structure of consummate art | B |
| By artists builded and by genius planned | A |
| Beyond the reach of the apprentice hand | A |
| Beyond the ken of the untutored heart | B |
| Like a fine carving in a common mart | B |
| Only the favoured few will understand | A |
| A chef d'auvre toiled over with great care | C |
| Yet which the unseeing careless crowd goes by | D |
| A plainly set but well cut solitaire | C |
| An ancient bit of pottery too rare | C |
| To please or hold aught save the special eye | D |
| These only with the sonnet can compare | C |
