Sonnet 10 Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDDCEFEFGG| Were I the poet laureate of the fairies | A |
| Who in a rose leaf finds too broad a page | B |
| Or could I like your beautiful canaries | A |
| Sing with free heart and happy in a cage | B |
| Perhaps I might within this little space | C |
| As in some Eastern tale by magic power | D |
| A giant is imprisoned in a flower | D |
| Have told you something with a poet's grace | C |
| But I need wider limits ampler scope | E |
| A world of freedom for a world of passion | F |
| And even then the glory of my hope | E |
| Would not be uttered in its stateliest fashion | F |
| Yet lady when fit language shall have told it | G |
| You'll find one little heart enough to hold it | G |
