Sonnet Lx: Transfigured Life Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBCDEDEED| As growth of form or momentary glance | A |
| In a child's features will recall to mind | B |
| The father's with the mother's face combin'd | B |
| Sweet interchange that memories still enhance | A |
| And yet as childhood's years and youth's advance | A |
| The gradual mouldings leave one stamp behind | B |
| Till in the blended likeness now we find | B |
| A separate man's or woman's countenance | C |
| So in the Song the singer's Joy and Pain | D |
| Its very parents evermore expand | E |
| To bid the passion's fullgrown birth remain | D |
| By Art's transfiguring essence subtly spann'd | E |
| And from that song cloud shaped as a man's hand | E |
| There comes the sound as of abundant rain | D |
