Insularum Ocelle Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABAB BAB ABAB| Sark fairer than aught in the world that the lit skies cover | A |
| Laughs inly behind her cliffs and the seafarers mark | B |
| As a shrine where the sunlight serves though the blown clouds hover | A |
| Sark | B |
| - | |
| We mourn for love of a song that outsang the lark | B |
| That nought so lovely beholden of Sirmio's lover | A |
| Made glad in Propontis the flight of his Pontic bark | B |
| - | |
| Here earth lies lordly triumphal as heaven is above her | A |
| And splendid and strange as the sea that upbears as an ark | B |
| As a sign for the rapture of storm spent eyes to discover | A |
| Sark | B |
