Mona Lisa Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDECFGGF| Yon strange blue city crowns a scarped steep | A |
| No mortal foot hath bloodlessly essayed | B |
| Dreams and illusions beacon from its keep | A |
| But at the gate an Angel bares his blade | B |
| And tales are told of those who thought to gain | C |
| At dawn its ramparts but when evening fell | D |
| Far off they saw each fading pinnacle | E |
| Lit with wild lightnings from the heaven of pain | C |
| Yet there two souls whom life's perversities | F |
| Had mocked with want in plenty tears in mirth | G |
| Might meet in dreams ungarmented of earth | G |
| And drain Joy's awful chalice to the lees | F |
