She Who Saw Not Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCB DEDE FGFH IEIE EJEJ KBLB| Did you see something within the house | A |
| That made me call you before the red sunsetting | B |
| Something that all this common scene endows | C |
| With a richened impress there can be no forgetting | B |
| - | |
| I have found nothing to see therein | D |
| O Sage that should have made you urge me to enter | E |
| Nothing to fire the soul or the sense to win | D |
| I rate you as a rare misrepresenter | E |
| - | |
| Go anew Lady in by the right | F |
| Well why does your face not shine like the face of Moses | G |
| I found no moving thing there save the light | F |
| And shadow flung on the wall by the outside roses | H |
| - | |
| Go yet once more pray Look on a seat | I |
| I go O Sage it's only a man that sits there | E |
| With eyes on the sun Mute average head to feet | I |
| No more No more Just one the place befits there | E |
| - | |
| As the rays reach in through the open door | E |
| And he looks at his hand and the sun glows through his fingers | J |
| While he's thinking thoughts whose tenour is no more | E |
| To me than the swaying rose tree shade that lingers | J |
| - | |
| No more And years drew on and on | K |
| Till no sun came dank fogs the house enfolding | B |
| And she saw inside when the form in the flesh had gone | L |
| As a vision what she had missed when the real beholding | B |
