My Earlier Life Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABA CACA DAA AEE F G| I've been home a long time among the vast porticos | A |
| Which the mariner sun has tinged with a million fires | A |
| Whose grandest pillars upright majestic and cold | B |
| Render them the same this evening as caves with basalt spires | A |
| - | |
| The swells' overwhelming accords of rich music | C |
| Heaving images of heaven to the skies | A |
| Mingle in a way solemn and mystic | C |
| With the colors of the horizon reflected by my eyes | A |
| - | |
| It was here I was true to the voluptuous calm | D |
| The milieu of azure the waves the splendors | A |
| And the nude slaves all impregnated with odors | A |
| - | |
| Who refreshed my brow with waving palms | A |
| My only care to bring to meaning from anguish | E |
| The sad secret in which I languish | E |
