Portrait And Reality Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBA CDCDCD| If on the closed curtain of my sight | A |
| My fancy paints thy portrait far away | B |
| I see thee still the same by night or day | B |
| Crossing the crowded street or moving bright | A |
| 'Mid festal throngs or reading by the light | A |
| Of shaded lamp some friendly poet's lay | B |
| Or shepherding the children at their play | B |
| The same sweet self and my unchanged delight | A |
| - | |
| But when I see thee near I recognize | C |
| In every dear familiar way some strange | D |
| Perfection and behold in April guise | C |
| The magic of thy beauty that doth range | D |
| Through many moods with infinite surprise | C |
| Never the same and sweeter with each change | D |
