Euryalus Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AAAAAABA CDCDCD| UPWARD we went by fields of asphodel | A |
| Leaving Ortygia's moat bound walls below | A |
| By orchards where the wind flowers' drifted snow | A |
| Lay lightly heaped upon the turf's light swell | A |
| By gardens whence upon the wayside fell | A |
| Jasmine and rose in April's overflow | A |
| Till winding up in Epipolae's wide brow | B |
| We reached at last the lonely citadel | A |
| - | |
| - | |
| There on the ruined rampart climbing high | C |
| We sat and dreamed among the browsing sheep | D |
| Until we heard the trumpet's startled cry | C |
| Waking a clang of arms about the keep | D |
| And seaward saw with rapt foreboding eye | C |
| The sails of Athens whiten on the deep | D |
