An Inscription Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABCDDEEFG HHII| Precious the box that Mary brake | A |
| Of spikenard for her Master's sake | A |
| But ah it held nought half so dear | B |
| As the sweet dust that whitens here | C |
| The greater wonder who shall say | D |
| To make so white a soul of clay | D |
| From clay to win a face so fair | E |
| Those strange great eyes that sunlit hair | E |
| A ripple o'er her witty brain | F |
| Or turn all back to dust again | G |
| - | |
| Who knows but in some happy hour | H |
| The God whose strange alchemic power | H |
| Wrought her of dust again may turn | I |
| To woman this immortal urn | I |
