Fontana Di Trevi Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABAB CDCDCD EBEBEB FDFDFD CGCGCG| Why do I sit within the spell | A |
| Of eyes like thine who oft have known | B |
| What 'tis in Beauty's gaze to dwell | A |
| And then to feel alone | B |
| Back be remitted to my cell | A |
| Too lately near a throne | B |
| - | |
| What though the moon on Trevi's fount | C |
| Whilst we together drink doth shine | D |
| Can it the rural miles remount | C |
| Or I subtract from mine | D |
| Whilst Time hath scarce begun to count | C |
| The pleasant paths of thine | D |
| - | |
| How vain to thus divide its wave | E |
| It will not help to blend our own | B |
| Thy voice is gay but mine is grave | E |
| As thine too will have grown | B |
| In days when nought is left thee save | E |
| A half remembered tone | B |
| - | |
| The light that gilds my world no more | F |
| But only now just breaks on thine | D |
| Thy shadows stretch all bright before | F |
| Behind in darkness mine | D |
| Leave me my unillumined shore | F |
| And in thy lustre shine | D |
| - | |
| Forth to thy Future gifted child | C |
| Oh be it fair as thou | G |
| As thy sweet tones and temper mild | C |
| And cloudless as thy brow | G |
| And thou wilt then be reconciled | C |
| That I am silent now | G |
