The Happy Isles Of Horace Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABAB AAAA CDCD EAEA FBFB AAAA AGAG| Oh come with me to the Happy Isles | A |
| In the golden haze off yonder | B |
| Where the song of the sun kissed breeze beguiles | A |
| And the ocean loves to wander | B |
| - | |
| Fragrant the vines that mantle those hills | A |
| Proudly the fig rejoices | A |
| Merrily dance the virgin rills | A |
| Blending their myriad voices | A |
| - | |
| Our herds shall fear no evil there | C |
| But peacefully feed and rest them | D |
| Neither shall serpent nor prowling bear | C |
| Ever come there to molest them | D |
| - | |
| Neither shall Eurus wanton bold | E |
| Nor feverish drouth distress us | A |
| But he that compasseth heat and cold | E |
| Shall temper them both to bless us | A |
| - | |
| There no vandal foot has trod | F |
| And the pirate hosts that wander | B |
| Shall never profane the sacred sod | F |
| Of those beautiful Isles out yonder | B |
| - | |
| Never a spell shall blight our vines | A |
| Nor Sirius blaze above us | A |
| But you and I shall drink our wines | A |
| And sing to the loved that love us | A |
| - | |
| So come with me where Fortune smiles | A |
| And the gods invite devotion | G |
| Oh come with me to the Happy Isles | A |
| In the haze of that far off ocean | G |
