I read this.. Lowell uses varied types of rhyme scheme in this poem. There is end rhyme (where write rhymes with night) and there is internal rhyme ("But for a line, be that sublime") too. 

He utilizes figurative language in the use of a metaphor in the first line. In comparing life to a lead of white paper, he says that one writes their own story on these pages.
