Sonnet Xxvii Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABACDEDEFGFGHH| Weary with toil I haste me to my bed | A |
| The dear repose for limbs with travel tired | B |
| But then begins a journey in my head | A |
| To work my mind when body's work's expired | C |
| For then my thoughts from far where I abide | D |
| Intend a zealous pilgrimage to thee | E |
| And keep my drooping eyelids open wide | D |
| Looking on darkness which the blind do see | E |
| Save that my soul's imaginary sight | F |
| Presents thy shadow to my sightless view | G |
| Which like a jewel hung in ghastly night | F |
| Makes black night beauteous and her old face new | G |
| Lo thus by day my limbs by night my mind | H |
| For thee and for myself no quiet find | H |
William Shakespeare
