To A Picture Of Eleanor Duse Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBACDEECDWas ever any face like this before | A |
So light a veiling for the soul within | B |
So pure and yet so pitiful for sin | B |
They say the soul will pass the Heavy Door | A |
And yearning upward learn creation's lore | A |
The body buried 'neath the earthly din | B |
But thine shall live forever it hath been | B |
So near the soul and shall be evermore | A |
Oh eyes that see so far thro' misted tears | C |
Oh Death behold these eyes can never die | D |
Yea tho' your kiss shall rob these lips of breath | E |
Their faint sad smile will still elude thee Death | E |
Behold the perfect flower this neck uprears | C |
And bow thy head and pass the wonder by | D |
