The Figure In The Scene Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCDD EFEGDDDDD D| It pleased her to step in front and sit | A |
| Where the cragged slope was green | B |
| While I stood back that I might pencil it | A |
| With her amid the scene | B |
| Till it gloomed and rained | C |
| But I kept on despite the drifting wet | D |
| That fell and stained | C |
| My draught leaving for curious quizzings yet | D |
| The blots engrained | D |
| - | |
| And thus I drew her there alone | E |
| Seated amid the gauze | F |
| Of moisture hooded only her outline shown | E |
| With rainfall marked across | G |
| Soon passed our stay | D |
| Yet her rainy form is the Genius still of the spot | D |
| Immutable yea | D |
| Though the place now knows her no more and has known her not | D |
| Ever since that day | D |
| - | |
| From an old note | D |
