Nysa'(soph., Fr., 235; Aesch., Fr., 56.) Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBA CDDECE| On these Nysaean shores divine | A |
| The clusters ripen in a day | B |
| At dawn the blossom shreds away | B |
| The berried grapes are green and fine | A |
| And full by noon in day's decline | A |
| They're purple with a bloom of grey | B |
| And e'er the twilight plucked are they | B |
| And crushed by nightfall into wine | A |
| - | |
| But through the night with torch in hand | C |
| Down the dusk hills the Maenads fare | D |
| The bull voiced mummers roar and blare | D |
| The muffled timbrels swell and sound | E |
| And drown the clamour of the band | C |
| Like thunder moaning underground | E |
