To Mrs. ---- Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABAACDECFFGHGHIDIJKA KALLA| Oh lady thou who in the olden time | A |
| Hadst been the star of many a poet's dream | B |
| Thou who unto a mind of mould sublime | A |
| Weddest the gentle graces that beseem | A |
| Fair woman's best forgive the darling line | C |
| That falters forth thy praise nor let thine eye | D |
| Glance o'er the vain attempt too scornfully | E |
| But as thou read'st think what a love was mine | C |
| That made me venture on a theme that none | F |
| Can know thee and not feel a hopeless one | F |
| Thou art most fair though sorrow's chastening wing | G |
| Hath past and left its shadow on thy brow | H |
| And solemn thoughts are gently mellowing | G |
| The splendour of thy beauty's summer now | H |
| Thou art most fair but thine is loveliness | I |
| That dwells not only on the lip or eye | D |
| Thy beauty is thy pure heart's holiness | I |
| Thy grace thy lofty spirit's majesty | J |
| While thus I gaze on thee and watch thee glide | K |
| Like some calm spirit o'er life's troubled stream | A |
| With thy twin buds of beauty by thy side | K |
| Together blossoming I almost deem | A |
| That I behold the loveliness and truth | L |
| That like fair visions hovered round my youth | L |
| Long sought and then forgotten as a dream | A |
