A New Pilgrimage: Sonnet Xxix Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABBCBCDEFEGG| How strangely now I come a man of sorrow | A |
| Nor yet such sorrow as youth dreamed of blind | B |
| But life's last indigence which dares not borrow | A |
| One garment more of Hope to cheat life's wind | B |
| The mountains which we loved have grown unkind | B |
| Nay voiceless rather Neither sound nor speech | C |
| Is heard among them nor the thought enshrined | B |
| Of any deity man's tears may reach | C |
| If I should speak what echo would there come | D |
| Of laughters lost and dead unanswered prayers | E |
| The shadow of each valley is a tomb | F |
| Filled with the dust of manifold despairs | E |
| Here we once lived'' This motto on the door | G |
| Of silence stands shut fast for evermore | G |
