The Power Of Art Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCAADDAEFEFEF| Not human art but living gods alone | A |
| Can fashion beauties that by changing live | B |
| Her buds to spring his fruits to autumn give | C |
| To earth her fountains in her heart of stone | A |
| But these in their begetting are o'erthrown | A |
| Nor may the sentenced minutes find reprieve | D |
| And summer in the blush of joy must grieve | D |
| To shed his flaunting crown of petals blown | A |
| We to our works may not impart our breath | E |
| Nor them with shifting light of life array | F |
| We show but what one happy moment saith | E |
| Yet may our hands immortalize the day | F |
| When life was sweet and save from utter death | E |
| The sacred past that should not pass away | F |
