From The Italian Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABAB CBCB DEDE| As a little child whom his mother has chidden | A |
| Wrecked in the dark in a storm of weeping | B |
| Sleeps with his tear stained eyes closed hidden | A |
| And with fists clenched sobs still in his sleeping | B |
| - | |
| So in my breast sleeps Love O white lady | C |
| What does he care though the rest are playing | B |
| With rattles and drums in the woodlands shady | C |
| Happy children whom Joy takes maying | B |
| - | |
| Ah do not wake him lest you should hear him | D |
| Scolding the others breaking their rattles | E |
| Smashing their drums when their play comes near him | D |
| Love who for me is a god of battles | E |
