Madonna Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABA CDCDC EFEFE GHGHG| Let me calm face remain | A |
| For ever in these sweet sequestered nooks | B |
| Remote from pain | A |
| Where leafy laurustinus overlooks | B |
| The blue abounding main | A |
| - | |
| Ne'er will I crave I vow | C |
| Your loveliness despite that we may stand | D |
| More nigh than now | C |
| You with the fresh plucked roses in your hand | D |
| And I with inclined brow | C |
| - | |
| With air and sea and sky | E |
| And penetrative music on the beach | F |
| All that is high | E |
| And far and holy and beyond our reach | F |
| I you identify | E |
| - | |
| Then lady let me stay | G |
| Here where no storm nor surge of discontent | H |
| Can find its way | G |
| Hearkening your holy admonitions blent | H |
| With murmurs from the bay | G |
