Sonnet 02 Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAACCADEEFFD| Most men know love but as a part of life | A |
| They hide it in some corner of the breast | B |
| Even from themselves and only when they rest | B |
| In the brief pauses of that daily strife | A |
| Wherewith the world might else be not so rife | A |
| They draw it forth as one draws forth a toy | C |
| To soothe some ardent kiss exacting boy | C |
| And hold it up to sister child or wife | A |
| Ah me why may not love and life be one | D |
| Why walk we thus alone when by our side | E |
| Love like a visible God might be our guide | E |
| How would the marts grow noble and the street | F |
| Worn like a dungeon floor by weary feet | F |
| Seem then a golden court way of the Sun | D |
