Sonnet Xxvi: I Ever Love Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: A BAABCDDCACCAEE| To Despair | A |
| - | |
| I ever love where never hope appears | B |
| Yet hope draws on my never hoping care | A |
| And my life's hope would die but for despair | A |
| My never certain joy breeds ever certain fears | B |
| Uncertain dread gives wings unto my hope | C |
| Yet my hope's wings are laden so with fear | D |
| As they cannot ascend to my hope's sphere | D |
| Though fear gives them more than a heav'nly scope | C |
| Yet this large room is bounded with despair | A |
| So my love is still fetter'd with vain hope | C |
| And liberty deprives him of his scope | C |
| And thus am I imprison'd in the air | A |
| Then sweet despair awhile hold up thy head | E |
| Or all my hope for sorrow will be dead | E |
