Label the rhyme scheme of the poem, beginning with a.


SONNET 19

When I consider how my light is spent,

E're half my days, in this dark world and wide,

And that one Talent which is death to hide,

Lodg'd with me useless, though my Soul more bent

To serve therewith my Maker, and present 5

My true account, least he returning chide,

Doth God exact day labour, light deny'd,

I fondly ask; But patience to prevent

That murmur, soon replies, God doth not need

Either man's work or his own gifts, who best 10

Bear his milde yoak, they serve him best, his State

Is Kingly. Thousands at his bidding speed

And post o're Land and Ocean without rest:

They also serve who only stand and waite.

—John Milton

Each line is a new letter

The rhyme scheme of a poem is the pattern of rhymes that can be found in the last word of each line of a poem. The rhyming scheme is usually represented by using letters in alphabetical order. Therefore, the first line would be A, as well as any other line that rhymes with it. The next line we encounter that does not rhyme with A will get the letter B, and so on. The rhyme scheme of this poem would look like this:

A
