Love Sonnet Xliv Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBA CDECDELove is the sepulchre of all my sin | A |
If it be sin to let the body sink | B |
In that slow dying the sick senses drink | B |
That ne er have felt true Love s delight rush in | A |
Hot Vice may sear the bloom of Beauty s skin | A |
Polluting Virtue with a painted wink | B |
But Love smiles lightly at such guilt I think | B |
And cures corruption e er her ills begin | A |
- | |
I cannot tell the wonder of desire | C |
That flames my cheek when you are by my side | D |
Nor dare I speak the secret of that bliss | E |
That sets the senses of my soul on fire | C |
Ah Love all my sin vanished into pride | D |
When I drank Heaven from your first pure kiss | E |
