Homer Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCAABBA DEDEDE| Homer thy song men liken to the sea | A |
| With all the notes of music in its tone | B |
| With tides that wash the dim dominion | C |
| Of Hades and light waves that laugh in glee | A |
| Around the isles enchanted nay to me | A |
| Thy verse seems as the River of source unknown | B |
| That glasses Egypt's temples overthrown | B |
| In his sky nurtured stream eternally | A |
| - | |
| No wiser we than men of heretofore | D |
| To find thy sacred fountains guarded fast | E |
| Enough thy flood makes green our human shore | D |
| As Nilus Egypt rolling down his vast | E |
| His fertile flood that murmurs evermore | D |
| Of gods dethroned and empires in the past | E |
