The Dauber Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCD EFEFGHGH IJIJKLKL| In stilly grove beside the sea | A |
| He mingles colours measures space | B |
| A bronze and breezy man is he | A |
| Yet peace is in his face | B |
| Behold him stand and longly stare | C |
| Till deft of hand and deep of eye | D |
| He captures on a canvas square | C |
| The joy of earth and sky | D |
| - | |
| Aloof from servitude and strife | E |
| From carking care and greed apart | F |
| Beneath the blue he lives his life | E |
| Of Nature and of Art | F |
| He grieves his pictures must be sold | G |
| Aye even when his funds are low | H |
| And fat men pay a purse of gold | G |
| He sighs to see them go | H |
| - | |
| My loving toil is of the pen | I |
| Yet while my verse is not unread | J |
| His pictures will be living when | I |
| My tropes are dim and dead | J |
| God gives us talents great and small | K |
| And though my rhymes I'll never rue | L |
| Sometimes I wish that after all | K |
| I were a dauber too | L |
