A Photograph Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBA ABCA DEE DED| When in this room I turn in pondering pace | A |
| And find thine eyes upon me where I stand | B |
| Led on as by Enemo's silken strand | B |
| I come and gaze and gaze upon thy face | A |
| - | |
| Framed round by silence poised on pearl white grace | A |
| Of curving throat too sweet for beaded band | B |
| It seems as if some wizard's magic wand | C |
| Had wrought thee for the love of all the race | A |
| - | |
| Dear face that will not turn about to see | D |
| The tulips glorying in the casement sun | E |
| Or other days the drizzled raindrops run | E |
| - | |
| Down the damp walls but follow only me | D |
| Would that Pygmalion's goddess might be won | E |
| To change this lifeless image into thee | D |
