Esther, A Sonnet Sequence: Xliii Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABAACDCEFGFGHH| How shall I tell my fall The life of man | A |
| Is but a tale of tumbles this way thrown | B |
| At his beginning by mere haste of plan | A |
| In the first gaping ditch with flowers o'ergrown | A |
| Anon more cautious for his wounded knees | C |
| Yet falling still through much expectancy | D |
| And so to age the goal of his heart's ease | C |
| Stumbling in blindness on he knows not why | E |
| How shall I tell it As the poets tell | F |
| Who wrap love in a garment of vain light | G |
| Or plainly naked the poor child of Hell | F |
| And laughter that it is and starless night | G |
| I like the truth best Yet this love sad thing | H |
| Mired and defiled I saw it once a king | H |
