Sappho Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABBAACCDDEEFF| I sigh at day dawn and I sigh | A |
| When the dull day is passing by | A |
| I sigh at evening and again | B |
| I sigh when night brings sleep to men | B |
| Oh it were far better to die | A |
| Than thus forever mourn and sigh | A |
| And in death's dreamless sleep to be | C |
| Unconscious that none weep for me | C |
| Eased from my weight of heaviness | D |
| Forgetful of forgetfulness | D |
| Resting from care and pain and sorrow | E |
| Thro' the long night that knows no morrow | E |
| Living unloved to die unknown | F |
| Unwept untended and alone | F |
