Ave Atque Vale: 02 Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBBCCDEFDFFor always thee the fervid languid glories | A |
Allured of heavier suns in mightier skies | B |
Thine ears knew all the wandering watery sighs | B |
Where the sea sobs round Lesbian promontories | B |
The barren kiss of piteous wave to wave | C |
That knows not where is that Leucadian grave | C |
Which hides too deep the supreme head of song | D |
Ah salt and sterile as her kisses were | E |
The wild sea winds her and the green gulfs bear | F |
Hither and thither and vex and work her wrong | D |
Blind gods that cannot spare | F |
