Sonnet 89: Now, That Of Absence Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBA ABBA ABA BAB| Now that of absence the most irksome night | A |
| With darkest shade doth overcome my day | B |
| Since Stella's eyes wont to give me my day | B |
| Leaving my hemisphere leave me in night | A |
| - | |
| Each day seems long and longs for long stay'd night | A |
| The night as tedious woos th'approach of day | B |
| Tir'd with the dusty toils of busy day | B |
| Languish'd with horrors of the silent night | A |
| - | |
| Suffering the evils both of the day and night | A |
| While no night is more dark than is my day | B |
| Nor no day hath less quiet than my night | A |
| - | |
| With such bad misture of my night and day | B |
| That living thus in blackest winter night | A |
| I feel the flames of hottest summer day | B |
Sir Philip Sidney
