Sonnet Vii Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBACDDCEFGEFG| The strong man's hand the snow cool head of age | A |
| The certain footed sympathies of youth | B |
| These and that lofty passion after truth | B |
| Hunger unsatisfied in priest or sage | A |
| Or the great men of former years he needs | C |
| That not unworthily would dare to sing | D |
| Hard task black care's inevitable ring | D |
| Settling with years upon the heart that feeds | C |
| Incessantly on glory Year by year | E |
| The narrowing toil grows closer round his feet | F |
| With disenchanting touch rude handed time | G |
| The unlovely web discloses and strange fear | E |
| Leads him at last to eld's inclement seat | F |
| The bitter north of life a frozen clime | G |
