Sonnet Xx: Oh! I Could Toil For Thee Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBACDCDCD| Oh I could toil for thee o'er burning plains | A |
| Could smile at poverty's disastrous blow | B |
| With thee could wander 'midst a world of snow | B |
| Where one long night o'er frozen Scythia reigns | A |
| Sever'd from thee my sick'ning soul disdains | A |
| The thrilling thought the blissful dream to know | B |
| And can'st thou give my days to endless woe | B |
| Requiting sweetest bliss with cureless pains | A |
| Away false fear nor think capricious fate | C |
| Would lodge a daemon in a form divine | D |
| Sooner the dove shall seek a tyger mate | C |
| Or the soft snow drop round the thistle twine | D |
| Yet yet I dread to hope nor dare to hate | C |
| Too proud to sue too tender to resign | D |
