A Perfect Sonnet Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABBABACDCDBB| Oh for a perfect sonnet of all time | A |
| Wild music heralding immortal hopes | B |
| Strikes the bold prelude To it from each clime | A |
| Like tropic birds on some green island slopes | B |
| Thoughts answering come high metaphors brave tropes | B |
| In ordered measure and majestic rhyme | A |
| And presently all hearts kings' poets' popes' | B |
| Throb to the truth of this new theme sublime | A |
| Anon 'tis reason speaks A note of death | C |
| Strengthens the symphony yet fraught with pain | D |
| And men seek meanings with abated breath | C |
| Vexing their souls till lo once more the strain | D |
| Breaks through triumphant and Love's master voice | B |
| Thrills the last phrase and bids all joy rejoice | B |
