Ave Atque Vale Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBCDEEDFFGHGH| Black dreams the pale and sorrowful desire | A |
| Whose eyes have looked on Lethe and have seen | B |
| Deep in the sliding ebon tide serene | B |
| Their own vain light inverted the vain lyre | C |
| That only tells of love and languishing | D |
| Autumnal roses blind with rain slow foam | E |
| From desert sinking seas with honeycomb | E |
| Of aconite and poppy these I bring | D |
| With this my bitter barren love to thee | F |
| And from the grievous springs of memory | F |
| Far in the great Maremma of my heart | G |
| I proffer thee to drink and on thy mouth | H |
| With the one kiss wherein we meet and part | G |
| Leave fire and dust from quenchless leagues of drouth | H |
