Sonnet Xxxviii: I Once May See Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAACBADEFEDE| I once may see when years shall wreck my wrong | A |
| When golden hairs shall change to silver wire | B |
| And those bright rays that kindle all this fire | B |
| Shall fail in force their working not so strong | A |
| Then Beauty now the burden of my song | A |
| Whose glorious blaze the world doth so admire | C |
| Must yield up all to tyrant Time's desire | B |
| Then fade those flowers which deckt her pride so long | A |
| When if she grieve to gaze her in her glass | D |
| Which then presents her winter wither'd hue | E |
| Go you my verse go tell her what she was | F |
| For what she was she best shall find in you | E |
| Your fiery heat lets not her glory pass | D |
| But Phoenix like shall make her live anew | E |
