The Sonnets Xv - When I Consider Every Thing That Grows Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABACDEDFGHGHII| When 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 |
| Cheered 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
