Esther, A Sonnet Sequence: Ii Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCBBDBDEFEFGH| Yes who shall tell the value of our tears | A |
| Whether we wept aright or idly grieved | B |
| There is a tragedy in unloved years | C |
| And in those passionate hours by love deceived | B |
| In lips unkissed and hopes too soon bereaved | B |
| And youth's high courage which no strength could save | D |
| And manhood's web of fate by folly weaved | B |
| And grey haired grief brought down into the grave | D |
| Who shall distinguish truly and be wise | E |
| 'Twixt grief and grief 'twixt night and night The sun | F |
| Has its own sorrow and a voice that cries | E |
| Louder than darkness of its joys undone | F |
| And pleads with that exceeding bitter cry | G |
| I have tasted honey and behold I die '' | H |
