Charles Carville's Eyes Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBA CDCEFDA melanholy face Charles Carville had | A |
But not so melancholy as it seemed | B |
When once you knew him for his mouth redeemed | B |
His insufficient eyes forever sad | A |
In them there was no life glimpse good or bad | A |
Nor joy nor passion in them ever gleamed | B |
His mouth was all of him that ever beamed | B |
His eyes were sorry but his mouth was glad | A |
- | |
He never was a fellow that said much | C |
And half of what he did say was not heard | D |
By many of us we were out of touch | C |
With all his whims and all his theories | E |
Till he was dead so those blank eyes of his | F |
Might speak them Then we heard them every word | D |
