Sonnet 015: When I Consider Every Thing That Grows Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABACDEDFGHGHIIWhen I consider every thing that grows | A |
Holds in perfection but a little moment | B |
That this huge stage presenteth nought but shows | A |
Whereon the stars in secret influence comment | C |
When I perceive that men as plants increase | D |
Cheer egrave d and checked even by the self same sky | E |
Vaunt in their youthful sap at height decrease | D |
And wear their brave state out of memory | F |
Then the conceit of this inconstant stay | G |
Sets you most rich in youth before my sight | H |
Where wasteful Time debateth with decay | G |
To change your day of youth to sullied night | H |
And all in war with Time for love of you | I |
As he takes from you I engraft you new | I |
William Shakespeare
