The Moon Is A Painter Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: ABCB CDED FGAG EHIH JKLK

He coveted her portraitA
He toiled as she grew gayB
She loved to see him laborC
In that devoted wayB
-
And in the end it pleased herC
But bowed him more with careD
Her rose smile showed so plainlyE
Her soul smile was not thereD
-
That night he groped without a lampF
To find a cloak a bookG
And on the vexing portraitA
By moonrise chanced to lookG
-
The color scheme was out of keyE
The maiden rose smile faintH
But through the blessed darknessI
She gleamed his friendly saintH
-
The comrade white immortalJ
His bride and more than brideK
The citizen the sage of mindL
For whom he lived and diedK
