Selenique Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCDBEFFGHCGIJH| Perfect marmoreal curved and carven statue wise | A |
| Your hard immaculate beauty dulls the sharpness of desire | B |
| And chills it to a changeless passion | C |
| A frozen passion bright and pallid | D |
| And clear as is the ghostly fervor of the moon's white fire | B |
| And all the dreams of you are lunar dreams | E |
| Such bright and hueless visions as are born | F |
| Of moonset on autumnal meres forlorn | F |
| Where the white lotus lingers | G |
| Unstirred with full and fragile petals overblown | H |
| That the least wave would loosen | C |
| And shatter like the touch of fingers | G |
| While the high clouds upon the western hills | I |
| Immobile rest like towering palaces | J |
| And mausoleums wrought of dim fantastic stone | H |
