Sonnet Xlix: How Long Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCBDEDEFGFHII| How long shall I in mine affliction mourn | A |
| A burden to myself distress'd in mind | B |
| When shall my interdicted hopes return | C |
| From out despair wherein they live confin'd | B |
| When shall her troubled brow charg'd with disdain | D |
| Reveal the treasure which her smiles impart | E |
| When shall my faith the happiness attain | D |
| To break the ice that hath congeal'd her heart | E |
| Unto herself herself my love doth summon | F |
| If love in her hath any power to move | G |
| And let her tell me as she is a woman | F |
| Whether my faith hath not deserv'd her love | H |
| I know she cannot but must needs confess it | I |
| Yet deigns not with one simple sign t'express it | I |
Samuel Daniel
