In An Old Art Gallery Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBC DEFDEF| Before the statue of a giant Hun | A |
| There stood a dwarf misshapen and uncouth | B |
| His lifted eyes seemed asking 'Why in sooth | B |
| Was I not fashioned like this mighty one | A |
| Would God show favour to an older son | A |
| Like earthly kings and beggar without ruth | B |
| Another who sinned only by his youth | B |
| Why should two lives in such divergence run ' | C |
| - | |
| Strange as he gazed that from a vanished past | D |
| No memories revived of war and strife | E |
| Of misused prowess and of broken law | F |
| That old Hun's spirit in the dwarf re cast | D |
| Lived out the sequence of an earthly life | E |
| IT WAS THE STATUE OF HIMSELF HE SAW | F |
