Ideal Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABBACA DEFEDFAh mystic child of Beauty nameless maid | A |
Dateless and fatherless how long ago | B |
A Greek with some rare sadness overweighed | A |
Shaped thee perchance and quite forgot his woe | B |
Or Raphael thy sweetness did bestow | B |
While magical his fingers o'er thee strayed | A |
Or that great pupil taught of Verrocchio | C |
Redeemed thy still perfection from the shade | A |
- | |
That hides all fair things lost and things unborn | D |
Where one has fled from me that wore thy grace | E |
And that grave tenderness of thine awhile | F |
Nay still in dreams I see her but her face | E |
Is pale is wasted with a touch of scorn | D |
And only on thy lips I find her smile | F |
