Kyrenaikos Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDEDFGHFGH| Lay me where soft Cyrene rambles down | A |
| In grove and garden to the sapphire sea | B |
| Twine yellow roses for the drinker's crown | A |
| Let music reach and fair heads circle me | B |
| Watching blue ocean where the white sails steer | C |
| Fruit laden forth or with the wares and news | D |
| Of merchant cities seek our harbors here | E |
| Careless how Corinth fares how Syracuse | D |
| But here with love and sleep in her caress | F |
| Warm night shall sink and utterly persuade | G |
| The gentle doctrine Aristippus bare | H |
| Night winds and one whose white youth's loveliness | F |
| In a flowered balcony beside me laid | G |
| Dreams with the starlight on her fragrant hair | H |
