Sonnet To My Friend - With An Identity Disc Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABAB ACAC DEDEFFIf ever I had dreamed of my dead name | A |
High in the heart of London unsurpassed | B |
By Time for ever and the Fugitive Fame | A |
There seeking a long sanctuary at last | B |
- | |
- | |
Or if I onetime hoped to hide its shame | A |
Shame of success and sorrow of defeats | C |
Under those holy cypresses the same | A |
That shade always the quiet place of Keats | C |
- | |
- | |
Now rather thank I God there is no risk | D |
Of gravers scoring it with florid screed | E |
Let my inscription be this soldier's disc | D |
Wear it sweet friend Inscribe no date nor deed | E |
But may thy heart beat kiss it night and day | F |
Until the name grow blurred and fade away | F |
