Holy Sonnet I: Thou Hast Made Me Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCAACBADEDFGG| Thou hast made me and shall thy work decay | A |
| Repair me now for now mine end doth haste | B |
| I run to death and death meets me as fast | C |
| And all my pleasures are like yesterday | A |
| I dare not move my dim eyes any way | A |
| Despair behind and death before doth cast | C |
| Such terror and my feeble flesh doth waste | B |
| By sin in it which it towards hell doth weigh | A |
| Only thou art above and when towards thee | D |
| By thy leave I can look I rise again | E |
| But our old subtle foe so tempteth me | D |
| That not one hour myself I can sustain | F |
| Thy grace may wing me to prevent his art | G |
| And thou like adamant draw mine iron heart | G |
John Donne
