Italy Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABBCCDDEEFFGGHHII JJKKLMMLNNOOPPJJQQR STST| There is a country in my mind | A |
| Lovelier than a poet blind | A |
| Could dream of who had never known | B |
| This world of drought and dust and stone | B |
| In all its ugliness a place | C |
| Full of an all but human grace | C |
| Whose dells retain the printed form | D |
| Of heavenly sleep and seem yet warm | D |
| From some pure body newly risen | E |
| Where matter is no more a prison | E |
| But freedom for the soul to know | F |
| Its native beauty For things glow | F |
| There with an inward truth and are | G |
| All fire and colour like a star | G |
| And in that land are domes and towers | H |
| That hang as light and bright as flowers | H |
| Upon the sky and seem a birth | I |
| Rather of air than solid earth | I |
| - | |
| Sometimes I dream that walking there | J |
| In the green shade all unaware | J |
| At a new turn of the golden glade | K |
| I shall see her and as though afraid | K |
| Shall halt a moment and almost fall | L |
| For passing faintness like a man | M |
| Who feels the sudden spirit of Pan | M |
| Brimming his narrow soul with all | L |
| The illimitable world And she | N |
| Turning her head will let me see | N |
| The first sharp dawn of her surprise | O |
| Turning to welcome in her eyes | O |
| And I shall come and take my lover | P |
| And looking on her re discover | P |
| All her beauty her dark hair | J |
| And the little ears beneath it where | J |
| Roses of lucid shadow sleep | Q |
| Her brooding mouth and in the deep | Q |
| Wells of her eyes reflected stars | R |
| - | |
| Oh the imperishable things | S |
| That hands and lips as well as words | T |
| Shall speak Oh movement of white wings | S |
| Oh wheeling galaxies of birds | T |
