To The Muse Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: ABAB CDCD EFEF GHIH JKJK

Resign the rhapsody the dreamA
To men of larger reachB
Be ours the quest of a plain themeA
The piety of speechB
-
As monkish scribes from morning breakC
Toiled till the close of lightD
Nor thought a day too long to makeC
One line or letter brightD
-
We also with an ardent mindE
Time wealth and fame forgotF
Our glory in our patience findE
And skim and skim the potF
-
Till last when round the house we hearG
The evensong of birdsH
One corner of blue heaven appearI
In our clear well of wordsH
-
Leave leave it then muse of my heartJ
Sans finish and sans frameK
Leave unadorned by needless artJ
The picture as it cameK

Robert Louis Stevenson
