Genius In Beauty Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBCADDA EFFEEF| Beauty like hers is genius Not the call | A |
| Of Homer's or of Dante's heart sublime | B |
| Not Michael's hand furrowing the zones of time | B |
| Is more with compassed mysteries musical | C |
| Nay not in Spring's or Summer's sweet footfall | A |
| More gathered gifts exuberant Life bequeathes | D |
| Than doth this sovereign face whose love spell breathes | D |
| Even from its shadowed contour on the wall | A |
| - | |
| As many men are poets in their youth | E |
| But for one sweet strung soul the wires prolong | F |
| Even through all change the indomitable song | F |
| So in likewise the envenomed years whose tooth | E |
| Rends shallower grace with ruin void of ruth | E |
| Upon this beauty's power shall wreak no wrong | F |
