To Cinna Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCD EFEFGHGH IJIJKLML ENENOHOH| Cinna the great Venusian told | A |
| In songs that will not die | B |
| How in Augustan days of old | A |
| Your love did glorify | B |
| His life and all his being seemed | C |
| Thrilled by that rare incense | D |
| Till grudging him the dreams he dreamed | C |
| The gods did call you hence | D |
| - | |
| Cinna I've looked into your eyes | E |
| And held your hands in mine | F |
| And seen your cheeks in sweet surprise | E |
| Blush red as Massic wine | F |
| Now let the songs in Cinna's praise | G |
| Be chanted once again | H |
| For oh alone I walk the ways | G |
| We walked together then | H |
| - | |
| Perhaps upon some star to night | I |
| So far away in space | J |
| I cannot see that beacon light | I |
| Nor feel its soothing grace | J |
| Perhaps from that far distant sphere | K |
| Her quickened vision seeks | L |
| For this poor heart of mine that here | M |
| To its lost Cinna speaks | L |
| - | |
| Then search this heart beloved eyes | E |
| And find it still as true | N |
| As when in all my boyhood skies | E |
| My guiding stars were you | N |
| Cinna you know the mystery | O |
| That is denied to men | H |
| Mine is the lot to feel that we | O |
| Shall elsewhere love again | H |
