Esther, A Sonnet Sequence: Liv Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDEDFGHGII| I must not speak of it Even yet my heart | A |
| Is but a feeble thing to fret and cry | B |
| And it might chance to wake and with a start | A |
| When nights were still and stars were in the sky | B |
| Sit up and muse upon its lonely state | C |
| With the same stars to mock at it as then | D |
| And certain chords that touched might touch it yet | E |
| And griefs find issue and tears come again | D |
| I must not venture farther in this mood | F |
| Grief is forsworn to me I will not grieve | G |
| Nor think too much on Esther's womanhood | H |
| Rather on that which was its make believe | G |
| And yet awhile she loved me In this thought | I |
| I long found rest when all was come to nought | I |
