Esther, A Sonnet Sequence: Xxvii Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDEDFGFHIJ| At such a time indeed of youth's first morn | A |
| There is a heaving of the soul in pain | B |
| A mighty labour as of joys unborn | A |
| Which grieves it and disquiets it in vain | B |
| The soul is scared at her own lack of peace | C |
| Her cradle song is mute and she has fled | D |
| From her old life as to a wilderness | E |
| She finds herself awake and without bread | D |
| 'Tis then the body her new counsellor | F |
| Speaks in her ear and still with eloquence | G |
| Pleads for more action and his voice to her | F |
| Is sweet with love and sadly she consents | H |
| There is a day of youth which needs must come | I |
| When each must learn his life and leave his home | J |
