In Vita: Cv Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBACDEDEDI saw on earth angelic graces beam | A |
Celestial beauty in our world below | B |
Whose mere remembrance thrills with grief and woe | B |
All I see now seems shadow smoke and dream | A |
I saw in those twin lights the tear drops gleam | A |
Those lights that made the sun with envy glow | B |
And from those lips such sighs and words did flow | B |
As made revolve the hills stand still the stream | A |
Love courage wit pity and pain in one | C |
Wept in more dulcet and harmonious strain | D |
Than any other that the world has known | E |
So rapt was heaven in the dear refrain | D |
That not a leaf upon the branch was blown | E |
Such utter sweetness filled the aerial plain | D |
