Sonnet. To A.m.d Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABCADEEDDEMethinks I see thee lying calm and low | A |
Silent and dark within thy earthy bed | B |
Thy mighty hands in which I trusted dead | B |
Resting with thy long arms from work or blow | A |
And the night robe around thy tall form flow | A |
Down from the kingly face and from the head | B |
Save by its thick dark curls uncovered | C |
My brother dear from childhood lying so | A |
Not often since thou went'st I think of thee | D |
With inward cares and questionings oppressed | E |
And yet ere long I seek thee in thy rest | E |
And bring thee home my heart as full as free | D |
As sure that thou wilt take me tenderly | D |
As then when youth and nature made us blest | E |
