Esther, A Sonnet Sequence: Lvii Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDEDFGFGHH| This was my term of glory All who know | A |
| Something of life will guess untold the end | B |
| In love one ever kisses for his woe | A |
| One lends his cheek alas or seems to lend | B |
| One has the pleasure one the penalties | C |
| One is in earnest one has time to laugh | D |
| One turns impatient from imploring eyes | E |
| And one in terror spells love's epitaph | D |
| There was no wisdom in this love of mine | F |
| Therefore it perished earlier than the rest | G |
| Although I poured out all my heart like wine | F |
| And watered it with tears and prayed unblest | G |
| In my soul's rage to all the Saints of heaven | H |
| To give me this and yet to be forgiven | H |
