The Virgin Considered As A Picture Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABAB CBCC DED FEG| Her unawed face whose pose so long assumed | A |
| Is touched with what reality we feel | B |
| Bends to itself and to itself resumed | A |
| Restores a tender fiction to the real | B |
| - | |
| - | |
| And in her artful posture movement lies | C |
| Whose timeless motion flesh must so conceal | B |
| Yet what her pose conceals we might surmise | C |
| And might pretend to gather from her eyes | C |
| - | |
| - | |
| The final motion flesh gives up to art | D |
| But slowly if we watch her long enough | E |
| The nerves grow subtler and she moves apart | D |
| - | |
| - | |
| Into a space too dim with time and blood | F |
| For our set eyes to follow true enough | E |
| Or nerves to guess about her if they would | G |
