Esther, A Sonnet Sequence: Xxvi Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABACDEDEFGFGHH| I linger on the threshold of my youth | A |
| If you could see me now as then I was | B |
| A fair faced frightened boy with eyes of truth | A |
| Scared at the world yet angry at its laws | C |
| Plotting all plots a blushing Cataline | D |
| Betrayed by his own cheeks a misanthrope | E |
| In love with all things human and divine | D |
| The very fool of fortune and high hope | E |
| You would deny you knew me Oh the days | F |
| Of our absurd first manhood rich in force | G |
| Rich in desire of happiness and praise | F |
| Yet impotent in its heroic course | G |
| And all for lack of that one worthless thing | H |
| Knowledge of life and love and suffering | H |
