Sonnet Ii Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBACDDCEFGEFG| As strong as deep as wide as is the sea | A |
| Though by the wind made restless as the wind | B |
| By billows fretted and by rocks confined | B |
| So strong so deep so wide my love for thee | A |
| And as the sea though oft huge waves arise | C |
| So oft that calms can never quite assuage | D |
| So huge that ocean s whole self seems to rage | D |
| Yet tranquil deep beneath the tempest lies | C |
| So my great love for thee lies tranquil deep | E |
| Forever though above it passions fierce | F |
| Ambition hatred jealousy like waves | G |
| That seem from earth s core to the sky to leap | E |
| But ocean s depths can never really pierce | F |
| Hide its great calm while all the surface raves | G |
