Mutation: A Sonnet Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDBDDEDFGG| They talk of short lived pleasure be it so | A |
| Pain dies as quickly stern hard featured pain | B |
| Expires and lets her weary prisoner go | A |
| The fiercest agonies have shortest reign | B |
| And after dreams of horror comes again | C |
| The welcome morning with its rays of peace | D |
| Oblivion softly wiping out the stain | B |
| Makes the strong secret pangs of shame to cease | D |
| Remorse is virtue's root its fair increase | D |
| Are fruits of innocence and blessedness | E |
| Thus joy o'erborne and bound doth still release | D |
| His young limbs from the chains that round him press | F |
| Weep not that the world changes did it keep | G |
| A stable changeless state 'twere cause indeed to weep | G |
