Sonnet Xiv Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBA ABBA CCD DEE| While I have tears that start into my eyes | A |
| At memories of joys that we have known | B |
| And while my voice still master of its own | B |
| Is not yet choked with sobbing and with sighs | A |
| - | |
| While still my hand has cunning to devise | A |
| A lover's cadence to the lute's soft tone | B |
| And while in understanding you alone | B |
| I no more wisdom need to make me wise | A |
| - | |
| How could I want as yet that I were dead | C |
| And when these eyes have no more tears to shed | C |
| My voice is hoarse and my hands lost their art | D |
| - | |
| When no longer can my tormented heart | D |
| Declare itself in love then I will pray | E |
| For Death to blacken out my brightest day | E |
