Charles Carville's Eyes Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBA CDCEFD| A 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 |
