Anatomy Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCAADEA FGFGHG| By chance my fingers resting on my face | A |
| Stayed suddenly where in its orbit shone | B |
| The lamp of all things beautiful then on | C |
| Following more heedfully did softly trace | A |
| Each arch and prominence and hollow place | A |
| That shall revealed be when all else is gone | D |
| Warmth colour roundness to oblivion | E |
| And nothing left but darkness and disgrace | A |
| - | |
| Life like a moment passed seemed then to be | F |
| A transient dream this raiment that it wore | G |
| While spelled my hand out its mortality | F |
| Made certain all that had seemed doubt before | G |
| Proved O how vaguely yet how lucidly | H |
| How much death does and yet can do no more | G |
