Sonnet 009: Is It For Fear To Wet A Widow's Eye Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCDEFEFGG

Is it for fear to wet a widow's eyeA
That thou consum'st thy self in single lifeB
Ah if thou issueless shalt hap to dieA
The world will wail thee like a makeless wifeB
The world will be thy widow and still weepC
That thou no form of thee hast left behindD
When every private widow well may keepC
By children's eyes her husband's shape in mindD
Look what an unthrift in the world doth spendE
Shifts but his place for still the world enjoys itF
But beauty's waste hath in the world an endE
And kept unused the user so destroys itF
No love toward others in that bosom sitsG
That on himself such murd'rous shame commitsG

William Shakespeare
