To A Painter Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABABBCDEFEDF| All praise the Likeness by thy skill portrayed | A |
| But 'tis a fruitless task to paint for me | B |
| Who yielding not to changes Time has made | A |
| By the habitual light of memory see | B |
| Eyes unbedimmed see bloom that cannot fade | A |
| And smiles that from their birth place ne'er shall flee | B |
| Into the land where ghosts and phantoms be | B |
| And seeing this own nothing in its stead | C |
| Couldst thou go back into far distant years | D |
| Or share with me fond thought that inward eye | E |
| Then and then only Painter could thy Art | F |
| The visual powers of Nature satisfy | E |
| Which hold whate'er to common sight appears | D |
| Their sovereign empire in a faithful heart | F |
