Sonet Vi Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBACDEFDE| As in the hostel by the bridge I sate | A |
| Nailed with indifference fondly deemed complete | B |
| And O strange chance more sorrowful than sweet | B |
| The counterfeit of her that was my fate | A |
| Dressed in like vesture graceful and sedate | A |
| Went quietly up the vacant village street | B |
| The still small sound of her most dainty feet | B |
| Shook like a trumpet blast my soul's estate | A |
| Instant revolt ran riot through my brain | C |
| And all night long thereafter hour by hour | D |
| The pageant of dead love before my eyes | E |
| Went proudly and old hopes broke loose again | F |
| From the restraint of wisely temperate power | D |
| With ineffectual ardour sought to rise | E |
