To George Sterling (deep) Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AB CDD C DDC EFGFEH| And I too found the seaward way | A |
| Venus Letalis | B |
| - | |
| Deep are the chasmal years and lustrums long | C |
| Since following that dark Venus of thy dream | D |
| Thou camest to the lulling foams's extreme | D |
| - | |
| But safely builded beyond change and wrong | C |
| And past 'the fleeting plaudits of the throng ' | - |
| With blazons blown on some ethereal stream | D |
| In crystal and in haliotis gleam | D |
| Crag founded thine aeolian domes of song | C |
| - | |
| Yet ah the vanished voice we shall not hear | E |
| Alas thy footsteps ending on the sand | F |
| By doubtful seas and skies not understood | G |
| Strange shells are found along that silent strand | F |
| Thou too hast often held them to thine ear | E |
| And heard the baffled murmur of thy blood | H |
