How does the poems break in this rhyme scheme in its final line help provide greater meaning in the poem? a One face looks out from all his canvases,
b One selfsame figure sits or walks or leans:
b We found her hidden just behind those screens,
a That mirror gave back all her loveliness.
a A queen in opal or in ruby dress,
b A nameless girl in freshest summer-greens,
b A saint, an angel; —every canvass means
a The same one meaning, neither more nor less.
c He feeds upon her face by day and night,
d And she with true kind eyes looks back on him,
c Fair as the moon and joyful as the light:
d Not wan with waiting, not with sorrow dim;
c Not as she is, but was when hope shone bright;
d Not as she is, but as she fills his dream.
