Mirrors Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBA CDECEF| Mirrors of steel or silver gold or glass antique | A |
| Whether in melancholy marble palaces | B |
| In some long trance you drew the dreamy loveliness | B |
| Of Roman queens or queens barbarical or Greek | A |
| Or further than the bright and sun pursuing beak | A |
| Of argosy might fare beheld the empresses | B |
| Of lost Lemuria or behind the lattices | B |
| Alhambran have returned forbidden smiles oblique | A |
| - | |
| Of wan mysterious women mirrors mirrors old | C |
| Mirrors immutable impassible as fate | D |
| Your bosoms held the perished beauty of the past | E |
| Nearer than straining love might ever hope to hold | C |
| And fleeing faces lips too phantom frail to last | E |
| Found in your magic depth a life re duplicate | F |
