Esther, A Sonnet Sequence: Lii Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABACDEDEFGFGHH| I lived with Esther not for many days | A |
| If days be counted by the fall of night | B |
| And the sun's rising yet through years of praise | A |
| If truth be timepiece of joys infinite | C |
| And what a life it was No vain sweet dream | D |
| Of love in idleness which all men know | E |
| But a full drama fashioned on the theme | D |
| Of strength victorious over death and woe | E |
| Here was no faltering Ours the triumph was | F |
| Of that strong logic which beholds each day | G |
| As a new world to conquer and the cause | F |
| Itself complete of a more glorious fray | G |
| To day our cycle was In it sublime | H |
| We sat enthroned as on the neck of Time | H |
