How Rich That Forehead's Calm Expanse Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABCBCDEDEFFGGHHIJHH J| How rich that forehead's calm expanse | A |
| How bright that heaven directed glance | A |
| Waft her to glory winged Powers | B |
| Ere sorrow be renewed | C |
| And intercourse with mortal hours | B |
| Bring back a humbler mood | C |
| So looked Cecilia when she drew | D |
| An Angel from his station | E |
| So looked not ceasing to pursue | D |
| Her tuneful adoration | E |
| But hand and voice alike are still | F |
| No sound 'here' sweeps away the will | F |
| That gave it birth in service meek | G |
| One upright arm sustains the cheek | G |
| And one across the bosom lies | H |
| That rose and now forgets to rise | H |
| Subdued by breathless harmonies | I |
| Of meditative feeling | J |
| Mute strains from worlds beyond the skies | H |
| Through the pure light of female eyes | H |
| Their sanctity revealing | J |
