Chi à?? Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABACDEDB FBFCFBFB GBGCABBB| When for a buonamano | A |
| Cometh at break of day | B |
| Knock at the terzo piano | A |
| A little voice answers Chi | C |
| I the facchino awaiting | D |
| The bounty of cara lei '' | E |
| She droppeth a paul through the grating | D |
| And silently steals away | B |
| - | |
| When with a long low mumble | F |
| Of lips that appear to pray | B |
| There cometh a knock so humble | F |
| The little voice answers Chi | C |
| I the poor monk '' Just a little | F |
| She opens but nought doth say | B |
| Gives him baiocchi or victual | F |
| And silently steals away | B |
| - | |
| But when as the shadows longer | G |
| Stretch half athwart the way | B |
| There cometh a knock much stronger | G |
| The little voice answers Chi | C |
| And when I answer Io | A |
| No bolts nor bars delay | B |
| But with the wild whisper Ah Dio | B |
| We kiss and we steal away | B |
