Bion Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABABAB ACABAC| The wail of Moschus on the mountains crying | A |
| The Muses heard and loved it long ago | B |
| They heard the hollows of the hills replying | A |
| They heard the weeping water's overflow | B |
| They winged the sacred strain the song undying | A |
| The song that all about the world must go | B |
| When poets for a poet dead are sighing | A |
| The minstrels for a minstrel friend laid low | B |
| - | |
| And dirge to dirge that answers and the weeping | A |
| For Adonais by the summer sea | C |
| The plaints for Lycidas and Thyrsis sleeping | A |
| Far from 'the forest ground called Thessaly' | B |
| These hold thy memory Bion in their keeping | A |
| And are but echoes of the moan for thee | C |
