Ave Atque Vale: 08 Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBACCDEEFE| Alas but though my flying song flies after | A |
| O sweet strange elder singer thy more fleet | B |
| Singing and footprints of thy fleeter feet | B |
| Some dim derision of mysterious laughter | A |
| From the blind tongueless warders of the dead | C |
| Some gainless glimpse of Proserpine's veiled head | C |
| Some little sound of unregarded tears | D |
| Wept by effaced unprofitable eyes | E |
| And from pale mouths some cadence of dead sighs | E |
| These only these the hearkening spirit hears | F |
| Sees only such things rise | E |
