Sonnet Ii. On A Discovery Made Too Late Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBACDDCEFFEEFThou bleedest my poor heart and thy distress | A |
Reas'ning I ponder with a scornful smile | B |
And probe thy sore wound sternly tho' the while | B |
Swollen be mine eye and dim with heaviness | A |
Why didst thou listen to Hope's whisper bland | C |
Or list'ning why forget the healing tale | D |
When Jealousy with fev'rish fancies pale | D |
Jarred thy fine fibres with a maniac's hand | C |
Faint was that Hope and rayless Yet 'twas fair | E |
And soothed with many a dream the hour of rest | F |
Thou shouldst have loved it most when most opprest | F |
And nursed it with an agony of care | E |
Even as a Mother her sweet infant heir | E |
That wan and sickly droops upon her breast | F |
