Sonnet Xxxv: What Means The Mist Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBACDEFED| What means the mist opaque that veils these eyes | A |
| Why does yon threat'ning tempest shroud the day | B |
| Why does thy altar Venus fade away | B |
| And on my breast the dews of horror rise | A |
| Phaon is false be dim ye orient Skies | A |
| And let black Erebus succeed your ray | B |
| Let clashing thunders roll and lightning play | B |
| Phaon is false and hopeless Sappho dies | A |
| Farewell my Lesbian love you might have said | C |
| Such sweet remembrance had some pity prov'd | D |
| Or coldly this farewell Oh Lesbian maid | E |
| No task severe for one so fondly lov'd | F |
| The gentle thought had sooth'd my wand'ring shade | E |
| From life's dark valley and its thorns remov'd | D |
