The Festival Of Beatrice Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBACCDCDD| Dante sole standing on the heavenward height | A |
| Beheld and heard one saying Behold me well | B |
| I am I am Beatrice Heaven and hell | B |
| Kept silence and the illimitable light | A |
| Of all the stars was darkness in his sight | A |
| Whose eyes beheld her eyes again and fell | B |
| Shame stricken Since her soul took flight to dwell | B |
| In heaven six hundred years have taken flight | A |
| And now that heavenliest part of earth whereon | C |
| Shines yet their shadow as once their presence shone | C |
| To her bears witness for his sake as he | D |
| For hers bare witness when her face was gone | C |
| No slave no hospice now for grief but free | D |
| From shore to mountain and from Alp to sea | D |
