Three Pictures Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABBCBCDEDFDF| I have seen many things in many lands | A |
| And many sorrows known and many joys | B |
| And clutched at pleasure's cup with lawless hands | A |
| And drunk my fill of mirth and lust and noise | B |
| Nor spared to make of human hearts my toys | B |
| But fed with life the brute strength of my pride | C |
| As with a tribute of fair living boys | B |
| The monstrous lord of Crete him satisfied | C |
| But of all pictures laid up in my soul | D |
| Are three most beautiful and passionate | E |
| The illumined margin of an ancient scroll | D |
| Which moraliseth pity love and hate | F |
| And these when she is sad she doth unroll | D |
| And on their common meaning meditate | F |
