To Vittoria Colonna. (sonnet Vi.) Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBACDCDCD| When the prime mover of my many sighs | A |
| Heaven took through death from out her earthly place | B |
| Nature that never made so fair a face | B |
| Remained ashamed and tears were in all eyes | A |
| O fate unheeding my impassioned cries | A |
| O hopes fallacious O thou spirit of grace | B |
| Where art thou now Earth holds in its embrace | B |
| Thy lovely limbs thy holy thoughts the skies | A |
| Vainly did cruel death attempt to stay | C |
| The rumor of thy virtuous renown | D |
| That Lethe's waters could not wash away | C |
| A thousand leaves since he hath stricken thee down | D |
| Speak of thee nor to thee could Heaven convey | C |
| Except through death a refuge and a crown | D |
