The Sonnets Lxxv - So Are You To My Thoughts As Food To Life Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCDEFEFGG| So are you to my thoughts as food to life | A |
| Or as sweet season'd showers are to the ground | B |
| And for the peace of you I hold such strife | A |
| As 'twixt a miser and his wealth is found | B |
| Now proud as an enjoyer and anon | C |
| Doubting the filching age will steal his treasure | D |
| Now counting best to be with you alone | C |
| Then better'd that the world may see my pleasure | D |
| Sometime all full with feasting on your sight | E |
| And by and by clean starved for a look | F |
| Possessing or pursuing no delight | E |
| Save what is had or must from you be took | F |
| Thus do I pine and surfeit day by day | G |
| Or gluttoning on all or all away | G |
William Shakespeare
