Sonnet V. (translated From Milton) Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBACDCDEELady It cannot be but that thine eyes | A |
Must be my sun such radiance they display | B |
And strike me ev'n as Phoebus him whose way | B |
Through torrid Libya's sandy desert lies | A |
Meantime on that side steamy vapours rise | A |
Where most I suffer Of what kind are they | B |
New as to me they are I cannot say | B |
But deem them in the Lover's language sighs | A |
Some though with pain my bosom close conceals | C |
Which if in part escaping thence they tend | D |
To soften thine they coldness soon congeals | C |
While others to my tearful eyes ascend | D |
Whence my sad nights in show'rs are ever drown'd | E |
'Till my Aurora comes her brow with roses bound | E |
William Cowper
