Can Such Things Be? Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBACDEFDG| Meseemed that while she played while lightly yet | A |
| Her fingers fell as roses bloom by bloom | B |
| I listened dead within a mighty room | B |
| Of some old palace where great casements let | A |
| Gaunt moonlight in that glimpsed a parapet | A |
| Of statued marble in the arrased gloom | B |
| Majestic pictures towered dim as doom | B |
| The dreams of Titian and of Tintoret | A |
| And then it seemed along a corridor | C |
| A mile of oak a stricken footstep came | D |
| Hurrying yet slow I thought long centuries | E |
| Passed ere she entered she I loved of yore | F |
| For whom I died who wildly wailed my name | D |
| And bent and kissed me on the mouth and eyes | G |
