Venus Transiens Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEFGHIEAJKEEL AMNEOKLPTell me | A |
Was Venus more beautiful | B |
Than you are | C |
When she topped | D |
The crinkled waves | E |
Drifting shoreward | F |
On her plaited shell | G |
Was Botticelli's vision | H |
Fairer than mine | I |
And were the painted rosebuds | E |
He tossed his lady | A |
Of better worth | J |
Than the words I blow about you | K |
To cover your too great loveliness | E |
As with a gauze | E |
Of misted silver | L |
- | |
For me | A |
You stand poised | M |
In the blue and buoyant air | N |
Cinctured by bright winds | E |
Treading the sunlight | O |
And the waves which precede you | K |
Ripple and stir | L |
The sands at your feet | P |
