Sonnet Vii Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBACDEDCD| I would I might forget that I am I | A |
| And break the heavy chain that binds me fast | B |
| Whose links about myself my deeds have cast | B |
| What in the body s tomb doth buried lie | A |
| Is boundless tis the spirit of the sky | A |
| Lord of the future guardian of the past | B |
| And soon must forth to know his own at last | B |
| In his large life to live I fain would die | A |
| Happy the dumb beast hungering for food | C |
| But calling not his suffering his own | D |
| Bless d the angel gazing on all good | E |
| But knowing not he sits upon a throne | D |
| Wretched the mortal pondering his mood | C |
| And doomed to know his aching heart alone | D |
George Santayana
