When I Too Long Have Looked Upon Your Face Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABBCBCDEDEFF| When I too long have looked upon your face | A |
| Wherein for me a brightness unobscured | B |
| Save by the mists of brightness has its place | A |
| And terrible beauty not to be endured | B |
| I turn away reluctant from your light | B |
| And stand irresolute a mind undone | C |
| A silly dazzled thing deprived of sight | B |
| From having looked too long upon the sun | C |
| Then is my daily life a narrow room | D |
| In which a little while uncertainly | E |
| Surrounded by impenetrable gloom | D |
| Among familiar things grown strange to me | E |
| Making my way I pause and feel and hark | F |
| Till I become accustomed to the dark | F |
