The Infinite Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEFGHIJKLA K MKKKCKNNNLCNNAO| This solitary hill has always been dear to me | A |
| And this hedge which prevents me from seeing most of | B |
| The endless horizon | C |
| But when I sit and gaze I imagine in my thoughts | D |
| Endless spaces beyond the hedge | E |
| An all encompassing silence and a deeply profound quiet | F |
| To the point that my heart is almost overwhelmed | G |
| And when I hear the wind rustling through the trees | H |
| I compare its voice to the infinite silence | I |
| And eternity occurs to me and all the ages past | J |
| And the present time and its sound | K |
| Amidst this immensity my thought drowns | L |
| And to founder in this sea is sweet to me | A |

| L'infinito | K |

| Sempre caro mi fu quest'ermo colle | M |
| E questa siepe che da tanta parte | K |
| De'l ultimo orrizonte il guarde esclude | K |
| Ma sedendo e mirando interminati | K |
| Spazi di la da quella e sovrumani | C |
| Silenzi e profondissima quiete | K |
| Io nel pensier mi fingo ove per poco | N |
| Il cor non si spaura E come il vento | N |
| Odo stormir tra queste piante io quello | N |
| Infinito silenzio a questa voce | L |
| Vo comparando e mi sovvien l'eterno | C |
| E le morte stagioni e la presente | N |
| E viva e'l suon di lei Cosi tra questa | N |
| Immensita s'annega il pensier mio | A |
| E'l naufragar m'e dolce in questo mare | O |
