Dedication To The Edition Of 1876 To H.j.a. Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAACDCDDCDEE| Three graces still attend me since the day | A |
| Your step across my graceless threshold came | B |
| Reverence and Gratitude and Love their name | B |
| Reverence whose gaze fears from the ground to stray | A |
| And bows its head and sues to you to lay | A |
| Your foot thereon and keep my base self down | C |
| Next Gratitude that bolder by degrees | D |
| Creeps up the folds of wedlock's rescuing gown | C |
| To make a circling fondness round your knees | D |
| And lastly Love which from that low perch sees | D |
| Chaste lips and tender eyes and tresses brown | C |
| And darting upward finds a home with these | D |
| So stand we level in that high embrace | E |
| And I have all your glory on my face | E |
