Sonnet 04 Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCBBDBDCDCDCDThey dub thee idler smiling sneeringly | A |
And why because forsooth so many moons | B |
Here dwelling voiceless by the voiceful sea | C |
Thou hast not set thy thoughts to paltry tunes | B |
In song or sonnet Them these golden noons | B |
Oppress not with their beauty they could prate | D |
Even while a prophet read the solemn runes | B |
On which is hanging some imperial fate | D |
How know they these good gossips what to thee | C |
The ocean and its wanderers may have brought | D |
How know they in their busy vacancy | C |
With what far aim thy spirit may be fraught | D |
Or that thou dost not bow thee silently | C |
Before some great unutterable thought | D |
