Sonnet Xlii: When Winter Snows Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCBDDDDEFGFHH| When Winter snows upon thy golden hairs | A |
| And frost of age hath nipt thy flowers near | B |
| When dark shall seem thy day that never clears | C |
| And all lies wither'd that was held so dear | B |
| Then take this picture which I here present thee | D |
| Limn'd with a pencil not all unworthy | D |
| Here see the gifts that God and Nature lent thee | D |
| Here read thy self and what I suffer'd for thee | D |
| This may remain thy lasting monument | E |
| Which happily posterity may cherish | F |
| These colors with thy fading are not spent | G |
| These may remain when thou and I shall perish | F |
| If they remain then thou shalt live thereby | H |
| They will remain and so thou canst not die | H |
