Sonnet Xxxix: Prepare Your Wreaths Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBACDCDCDPrepare your wreaths Aonian maids divine | A |
To strew the tranquil bed where I shall sleep | B |
In tears the myrtle and the laurel steep | B |
And let Erato's hand the trophies twine | A |
No parian marble there with labour'd line | A |
Shall bid the wand'ring lover stay to weep | B |
There holy silence shall her vigils keep | B |
Save when the nightingale such woes as mine | A |
Shall sadly sing as twilight's curtains spread | C |
There shall the branching lotos widely wave | D |
Sprinkling soft show'rs upon the lily's head | C |
Sweet drooping emblem for a lover's grave | D |
And there shall Phaon pearls of pity shed | C |
To gem the vanquish'd heart he scorn'd to save | D |
