New Magic Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABACCB DEDFFE| At last I know it s on old ivory jars | A |
| Glassed with old miniatures and garnered once with musk | B |
| I ve seen those eyes like smouldering April stars | A |
| As carp might see them behind their bubbled skies | C |
| In pale green fishponds they re as green your eyes | C |
| As lakes themselves changed to green stone at dusk | B |
| - | |
| At last I know it s paned in a crystal hoop | D |
| On powder boxes from some dead Italian girl | E |
| I ve seen such eyes grow suddenly dark and droop | D |
| Their small pure lids as if I d pried too far | F |
| In finding you snared there on that ivory jar | F |
| By crusted motes of rose and smoky pearl | E |
