Sonnet Viii. To My Brothers Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBAACADAD| Small busy flames play through the fresh laid coals | A |
| And their faint cracklings o'er our silence creep | B |
| Like whispers of the household gods that keep | B |
| A gentle empire o'er fraternal souls | A |
| And while for rhymes I search around the poles | A |
| Your eyes are fix d as in poetic sleep | B |
| Upon the lore so voluble and deep | B |
| That aye at fall of night our care condoles | A |
| This is your birth day Tom and I rejoice | A |
| That thus it passes smoothly quietly | C |
| Many such eves of gently whisp'ring noise | A |
| May we together pass and calmly try | D |
| What are this world s true joys ere the great voice | A |
| From its fair face shall bid our spirits fly | D |
