An Art Message Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABAB CDCD EFEF| HE gathered cherry stones and carved them quaintly | A |
| Into fine semblances of flies and flowers | B |
| With subtle skill he even imaged faintly | A |
| The forms of tiny maids and ivied towers | B |
| - | |
| His little blocks he loved to file and polish | C |
| And ampler means he asked not but despised | D |
| All art but cherry stones he would abolish | C |
| For then his genius would be rightly prized | D |
| - | |
| For such rude hands as dealt with wrongs and passions | E |
| And throbbing hearts he had a pitying smile | F |
| Serene his way through surging years and fashions | E |
| While Heaven gave him his cherry stones and file | F |
