Sonnet Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABBCBCCDCDEEHe comes to me like air on parching grass | A |
His eyes are wells where truth lives found at last | B |
Summer is fragrant should he this way pass | A |
His calm love is a chain that binds me fast | B |
Yet often melancholy will forecast | B |
That time when I shall have grown old when he | C |
Still rapturous in his struggle with life's blast | B |
Shall give a pitying side glance to me | C |
Who skirt the fog fringe of eternity | C |
Straining mine eyes to catch what shadowy sign | D |
Of good or evil omen there may be | C |
Yet no sure good nor evil can divine | D |
Only some hints of doubtful sound and light | E |
That lonelier leave the uncompanioned night | E |
