In Ithaca Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBCCBBC DEFDEF| 'Tis thought Odysseus when the strife was o'er | A |
| With all the waves and wars a weary while | B |
| Grew restless in his disenchanted isle | B |
| And still would watch the sunset from the shore | C |
| Go down the ways of gold and evermore | C |
| His sad heart followed after mile on mile | B |
| Back to the Goddess of the magic wile | B |
| Calypso and the love that was of yore | C |
| - | |
| Thou too thy haven gained must turn thee yet | D |
| To look across the sad and stormy space | E |
| Years of a youth as bitter as the sea | F |
| Ah with a heavy heart and eyelids wet | D |
| Because within a fair forsaken place | E |
| The life that might have been is lost to thee | F |
