Sonnet 12 Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBABCBCDDEFEF| What gossamer lures thee now What hope what name | A |
| Is on thy lips What dreams to fruit have grown | B |
| Thou who hast turned ONE Poet heart to stone | B |
| Is thine yet burning with its seraph flame | A |
| Let me give back a warning of thine own | B |
| That falling from thee many moons ago | C |
| Sank on my soul like the prophetic moan | B |
| Of some young Sibyl shadowing her own woe | C |
| The words are thine and will not do thee wrong | D |
| I only bind their solemn charge to song | D |
| Thy tread is on a quicksand oh be wise | E |
| Nor in the passionate eagerness of youth | F |
| MISTAKE THY BOSOM SERPENT'S GLITTERING EYES | E |
| FOR THE CALM LIGHTS OF REASON AND OF TRUTH | F |
