The Portrait Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBA CDECDE| O Lord of all compassionate control | A |
| O Love let this my lady's picture glow | B |
| Under my hand to praise her name and show | B |
| Even of her inner self the perfect whole | A |
| That he who seeks her beauty's furthest goal | A |
| Beyond the light that the sweet glances throw | B |
| And refluent wave of the sweet smile may know | B |
| The very sky and sea line of her soul | A |
| - | |
| Lo it is done Above the long lithe throat | C |
| The mouth's mould testifies of voice and kiss | D |
| The shadowed eyes remember and foresee | E |
| Her face is made her shrine Let all men note | C |
| That in all years O Love thy gift is this | D |
| They that would look on her must come to me | E |
