Sonnet I Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AB CDCDEFEFGHIHJJ| ON SEEING THE BUST OF THE YOUNG PRINCESS DE MONTFORT | A |
| In the studio of Bartolini at Florence | B |
| - | |
| SWEET marble I didst thou merely represent | C |
| In lieu of her on whom our glances rest | D |
| Some common loveliness we were content | C |
| As with a modell'd beauty well express'd | D |
| But by the very skill which makes thee seem | E |
| So like HER bright and intellectual face | F |
| The heart is led unsatisfied to dream | E |
| For sculpture cannot give the breathing grace | F |
| The light which plays beneath that shadowy brow | G |
| Like sunshine on the fountains of the south | H |
| The blush which tints that cheek with roseate glow | I |
| The smile which hovers round that angel mouth | H |
| No such the form o'er which Pygmalion sigh'd | J |
| Too fair to be complete while SOUL was still denied | J |
