Sonnet Xxxvi: Raising My Hopes Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBCABBADEDEDD| Raising my hopes on hills of high desire | A |
| Thinking to scale the heaven of her heart | B |
| My slender means presum'd too high a part | B |
| Her thunder of disdain forc'd me retire | C |
| And threw me down to pain in all this fire | A |
| Where lo I languish in so heavy smart | B |
| Because th'attempt was far above my art | B |
| Her pride brook'd not poor souls should come so nigh her | A |
| Yet I protest my high aspiring will | D |
| Was not to dispossess her of her right | E |
| Her sovereignty should have remained still | D |
| I only sought the bliss to have her sight | E |
| Her sight contented thus to see me spill | D |
| Fram'd my desires fit for her eyes to kill | D |
