To A Portrait Of Whistler In The Brooklyn Art Museum Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABAC DEDE FGFG HIHI JKJK LMLM NENE OPOP| What waspish whim of Fate | A |
| Was this that bade you here | B |
| Hold dim unhonored state | A |
| No single courtier near | C |
| - | |
| Is there of all who pass | D |
| No choice discerning few | E |
| To poise the ribboned glass | D |
| And gaze enwrapt on you | E |
| - | |
| Sword soul that from its sheath | F |
| Laughed leaping to the fray | G |
| How calmly underneath | F |
| Goes Brooklyn on her way | G |
| - | |
| Quite heedless of that smile | H |
| Half devil and half god | I |
| Your quite unequalled style | H |
| The airy heights you trod | I |
| - | |
| Ah could you from earth's breast | J |
| Come back to take the air | K |
| What matter here for jest | J |
| Most exquisite and rare | K |
| - | |
| But since you may not come | L |
| Since silence holds you fast | M |
| Since all your quips are dumb | L |
| And all your laughter past | M |
| - | |
| I give you mine instead | N |
| And something with it too | E |
| That Brooklyn leaves unsaid | N |
| The world's fine homage due | E |
| - | |
| Ah Prince you smile again | O |
| My faith the court is small | P |
| I know dear James but then | O |
| It's I or none at all | P |
