An Unpraised Picture Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBACDCDCD| I SAW a picture once by Angelo | A |
| Unfinished said the critic done in youth | B |
| And that was all no thought of praise forsooth | B |
| He was informed and doubtless it was so | A |
| And yet I let an hour of dreaming go | A |
| The way of all time touched to tears and ruth | B |
| Passion and joy the prick of conscience tooth | B |
| Before that careworn Christ s divine soft glow | A |
| The painter s yearning with an unsure hand | C |
| Had moved me more than might his master days | D |
| He seemed to speak like one whose Meccaland | C |
| Is first beheld though faint and far the ways | D |
| Who may not then his shaken voice command | C |
| Yet trembles forth a word of prayer and praise | D |
