On A Piece Of Tapestry Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBACDDCDD| Hold high the woof dear friends that we may see | A |
| The cunning mixture of its colours rare | B |
| Nothing in nature purposely is fair | B |
| Her beauties in their freedom disagree | A |
| But here all vivid dyes that garish be | A |
| To that tint mellowed which the sense will bear | B |
| Glow and not wound the eye that resting there | B |
| Lingers to feed its gentle ecstacy | A |
| Crimson and purple and all hues of wine | C |
| Saffron and russet brown and sober green | D |
| Are rich the shadowy depths of blue between | D |
| While silver threads with golden intertwine | C |
| To catch the glimmer of a fickle sheen | D |
| All the long labour of some captive queen | D |
George Santayana
