On A Portrait Of I. F., Painted By Margaret Gillies Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBACBBABDBDBD| We gaze nor grieve to think that we must die | A |
| But that the precious love this friend hath sown | B |
| Within our hearts the love whose flower hath blown | B |
| Bright as if heaven were ever in its eye | A |
| Will pass so soon from human memory | C |
| And not by strangers to our blood alone | B |
| But by our best descendants be unknown | B |
| Unthought of this may surely claim a sigh | A |
| Yet blessed Art we yield not to dejection | B |
| Thou against Time so feelingly dost strive | D |
| Where'er preserved in this most true reflection | B |
| An image of her soul is kept alive | D |
| Some lingering fragrance of the pure affection | B |
| Whose flower with us will vanish must survive | D |
