On Seeing A Picture Of Sacred Contemplation. Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABCDCCBEBE| Serene she looks she wears an angel's form | A |
| Her arching eyes are fix'd upon the sky | B |
| Gloomy yet glist'ning 'tween black curls wip'd by | B |
| Like a bright rainbow painted on the storm | A |
| Her blue vein'd breasts religion's comforts warm | A |
| The bible open'd on her lap doth lie | B |
| What mixing beauties in her face appear | C |
| Charms more than mortal lighten up her smiles | D |
| Strong Faith and Hope unite her soul to cheer | C |
| And Resignation makes her smiles more dear | C |
| No earthly thoughts her purity defile | B |
| As vap'ring clouds by summer's suns are driven | E |
| Sin's temptings from the scriptures' charm recoil | B |
| And all her soul transported seems in heaven | E |
