Sonnets Xii Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEFEFGHGHBBHOW like a Winter hath my absence been | A |
From thee the pleasure of the fleeting year | B |
What freezings have I felt what dark days seen | C |
What old December's bareness everywhere | D |
And yet this time removed was summer's time | E |
The teeming Autumn big with rich increase | F |
Bearing the wanton burden of the prime | E |
Like widow'd wombs after their Lord's decease | F |
Yet this abundant issue seem'd to me | G |
But hope of orphans and unfather'd fruit | H |
For Summer and his pleasures wait on thee | G |
And thou away the very birds are mute | H |
nbsp nbsp nbsp Or if they sing 'tis with so dull a cheer | B |
nbsp nbsp nbsp That leaves look pale dreading the Winter 's near | B |
