Insularum Ocelle Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: ABAB BAB ABAB

Sark fairer than aught in the world that the lit skies coverA
Laughs inly behind her cliffs and the seafarers markB
As a shrine where the sunlight serves though the blown clouds hoverA
SarkB
-
We mourn for love of a song that outsang the larkB
That nought so lovely beholden of Sirmio's loverA
Made glad in Propontis the flight of his Pontic barkB
-
Here earth lies lordly triumphal as heaven is above herA
And splendid and strange as the sea that upbears as an arkB
As a sign for the rapture of storm spent eyes to discoverA
SarkB
