Sonnet Xcviii Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCDEFEFGG| From you have I been absent in the spring | A |
| When proud pied April dress'd in all his trim | B |
| Hath put a spirit of youth in every thing | A |
| That heavy Saturn laugh'd and leap'd with him | B |
| Yet nor the lays of birds nor the sweet smell | C |
| Of different flowers in odour and in hue | D |
| Could make me any summer's story tell | C |
| Or from their proud lap pluck them where they grew | D |
| Nor did I wonder at the lily's white | E |
| Nor praise the deep vermilion in the rose | F |
| They were but sweet but figures of delight | E |
| Drawn after you you pattern of all those | F |
| Yet seem'd it winter still and you away | G |
| As with your shadow I with these did play | G |
