Sonnet I Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABABCDACDA| Oft had I felt like pure Endymion | A |
| Such love for the sweet moon that I had well | B |
| Believed her able on earth to love and dwell | B |
| With whatso man she set her love upon | A |
| But as I wandered once when day was done | A |
| Beside the murmuring moon lit ocean swell | B |
| Sudden thy silent beauty on me shone | A |
| Fair as the moon had give thee all her spell | B |
| Then as Endymion had found on earth | C |
| In unchanged beauty but in fashion changed | D |
| Her whom I loved so long so felt I then | A |
| Not that a new love in my heart had birth | C |
| But that the old that far from reach had ranged | D |
| Was now on earth and to be loved of men | A |
