Faded Pictures Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBA CDDC EFFE GHHG CIIC| NLY two patient eyes to stare | A |
| Out of the canvas All the rest | B |
| The warm green gown the small hands pressed | B |
| Light in the lap the braided hair | A |
| - | |
| That must have made the sweet low brow | C |
| So earnest centuries ago | D |
| When some one saw it change and glow | D |
| All faded Just the eyes burn now | C |
| - | |
| I dare say people pass and pass | E |
| Before the blistered little frame | F |
| And dingy work without a name | F |
| Stuck in behind its square of glass | E |
| - | |
| But I well I left Raphael | G |
| Just to come drink these eyes of hers | H |
| To think away the stains and blurs | H |
| And make all new again and well | G |
| - | |
| Only for tears my head will bow | C |
| Because there on my heart's last wall | I |
| Scarce one tint left to tell it all | I |
| A picture keeps its eyes somehow | C |
