A New Pilgrimage: Sonnet Xxxiv Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABBCBDEFGFHH| O fool O false I have abandoned Heaven | A |
| And sold my wealth for metal of base kind | B |
| O frail disciple of a fair creed given | A |
| For human hope when all the world was blind | B |
| What was my profit Freedom of the mind | B |
| A little pleasure of the years some scars | C |
| Of lusty youth and some few thoughts enshrined | B |
| In worthier record of my manhood's years | D |
| All else is loss and unredeemed distress | E |
| The voiceful seasons uninvited come | F |
| And bring their tribute of new flowers and pass | G |
| Only the reason of the world is dumb | F |
| Nor does God any more by word or sign | H |
| Speak to our rebel hearts of things divine | H |
