Sonnet To My Wife Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBACDCDDC| The curse of Adam the old curse of all | A |
| Though I inherit in this feverish life | B |
| Of worldly toil vain wishes and hard strife | B |
| And fruitless thought in Care's eternal thrall | A |
| Yet more sweet honey than of bitter gall | A |
| I taste through thee my Eve my sweet wife | B |
| Then what was Man's lost Paradise how rife | B |
| Of bliss since love is with him in his fall | A |
| Such as our own pure passion still might frame | C |
| Of this fair earth and its delightful bow'rs | D |
| If no fell sorrow like the serpent came | C |
| To trail its venom o'er the sweetest flow'rs | D |
| But oh as many and such tears are ours | D |
| As only should be shed for guilt and shame | C |
