For Beauty Being The Best Of All We Know Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBACDCDCD| For beauty being the best of all we know | A |
| Sums up the unsearchable and secret aims | B |
| Of nature and on joys whose earthly names | B |
| Were never told can form and sense bestow | A |
| And man has sped his instinct to outgo | A |
| The step of science and against her shames | B |
| Imagination stakes out heavenly claims | B |
| Building a tower above the head of woe | A |
| Nor is there fairer work for beauty found | C |
| Than that she win in nature her release | D |
| From all the woes that in the world abound | C |
| Nay with his sorrow may his love increase | D |
| If from man's greater need beauty redound | C |
| And claim his tears for homage of his peace | D |
