Sonnet 99: When Far-spent Night Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBC ABBC DEF EGG| When far spent night persuades each mortal eye | A |
| To whom nor art nor nature granted light | B |
| To lay his then mark wanting shafts of sight | B |
| Clos'd with their quivers in sleep's armory | C |
| - | |
| With windows ope then most my mind doth lie | A |
| Viewing the shape of darkness and delight | B |
| Takes in that sad hue which the inward night | B |
| Of his maz'd powers keeps perfect harmony | C |
| - | |
| But when birds charm and that sweet air which is | D |
| Morn's messenger with rose enamel'd skies | E |
| Calls each wight to salute the flower of bliss | F |
| - | |
| In tomb of lids then buried are mine eyes | E |
| Forc'd by their lord who is asham'd to find | G |
| Such light in sense with such a darken'd mind | G |
Sir Philip Sidney
