The Artist Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCCBDEDFGGEHIHIJJ I| He stands at no easel he mixes no paint | A |
| He colours no canvas to gladden the eye | B |
| Yet the picture he makes will not fade or grow faint | A |
| Till our love of the chase shall desert us and die | B |
| He's an artist of parts | C |
| Who appeals to the hearts | C |
| That can thrill to good hunting and hounds in full cry | B |
| By his seat in the saddle his touch on the reins | D |
| His skill and his mastery who can gainsay | E |
| That here is an artist in all that pertains | D |
| To the horse and his handling a real R A | F |
| An artist 'twould irk | G |
| Not to cut out the work | G |
| When the hats are crammed down and a fox is away | E |
| You will find him no centre of salon or crush | H |
| No letters attached to his name may he sign | I |
| But there's no one so eager to handle the Brush | H |
| And there's none so consistently found on the Line | I |
| If an artist you ask | J |
| Here's the man for the task | J |
| Making pictures where keenness and courage combine | I |
