Sonnet 04 Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCBBDBDCDCDCD| They 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 |
