Esther, A Sonnet Sequence: Xxviii Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCDEFEGHI| The summer I had passed in my own fashion | A |
| High in the Alps a proselyte to toil | B |
| I was released and free and spent my passion | A |
| On the bare rocks as on a fruitful soil | B |
| I had soothed my soul with labour and its fire | C |
| Borne to those naked heights where I unfurled | D |
| My flag with new ambitions high and higher | C |
| Even to the last bleak outposts of the world | D |
| My soul had needed courage and behold | E |
| Here in these battles with the hosts of air | F |
| And rock and snow and storm she had grown bold | E |
| And proved her temper for the coming war | G |
| This was her gain the strife she must engage | H |
| With physical fear her childhood's heritage | I |
