Restlessness Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBACDDCEFFEAGGH IWould I had waked this morn where Florence smiles | A |
A bloom with beauty a white rose full blown | B |
Yet rich in sacred dust in storied stone | B |
Precious past all the wealth of Indian isles | A |
From olive hoary Fiesole to feed | C |
On Brunelleschi's dome my hungry eye | D |
And see against the lotus colored sky | D |
Spring the slim belfry graceful as a reed | C |
To kneel upon the ground where Dante trod | E |
To breathe the air of immortality | F |
From Angelo and Raphael TO BE | F |
Each sense new quickened by a demi god | E |
To hear the liquid Tuscan speech at whiles | A |
From citizen and peasant to behold | G |
The heaven of Leonardo washed with gold | G |
Would I had waked this morn where Florence smile | H |
