On A Recently Finished Statue Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEDDBFEGGCH| Said Sculptor to immaculate marble 'Show | A |
| Thine essence into necessary space | B |
| Most pure describe thine unshaped Purity ' | C |
| And lo this Image As a bubble blown | D |
| Swiftly her charms dilating went through all | E |
| The zones of sphered Perfection till the stone | D |
| Smiled as to speak Some coming thought half shown | D |
| Forms on her parting lips so that her face | B |
| Is as a white flow'r whence a drop of dew | F |
| White with the fragrant flow'r inclines to fall | E |
| 'Oh Everlasting Silence keep her so | G |
| Immortalise this moment lest she grow | G |
| To such a living substance as can die ' | C |
| He cried Consent Eternal heard his cry | H |
