Three Faces I. Ventimiglia Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABAB BAB ABABThe sky and sea glared hard and bright and blank | A |
Down the one steep street with slow steps firm and free | B |
A tall girl paced with eyes too proud to thank | A |
The sky and sea | B |
- | |
One dead flat sapphire void of wrath or glee | B |
Through bay on bay shone blind from bank to bank | A |
The weary Mediterranean drear to see | B |
- | |
More deep more living shone her eyes that drank | A |
The breathless light and shed again on me | B |
Till pale before their splendour waned and shrank | A |
The sky and sea | B |
