Farewell To Italy. Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABBCDEEAAFFGGHHIIJJ KKLLMMAANNOA| Farewell awhile beautiful Italy | A |
| My lonely bark is launched upon the sea | A |
| That clasps thy shore and the soft evening gale | B |
| Breathes from thy coast and fills my parting sail | B |
| Ere morning dawn a colder breeze will come | C |
| And bear me onward to my northern home | D |
| That home where the pale sun is not so bright | E |
| So glorious at his noonday's fiercest height | E |
| As when he throws his last glance o'er the sea | A |
| And fires the heavens that glow farewell on thee | A |
| Fair Italy perchance some future day | F |
| Upon thy coast again will see me stray | F |
| Meantime farewell I sorrow as I leave | G |
| Thy lovely shore behind me as men grieve | G |
| When bending o'er a form around whose charms | H |
| Unconquered yet Death winds his icy arms | H |
| While leaving the last kiss on some dear cheek | I |
| Where beauty sheds her last autumnal streak | I |
| Life's rosy flower just mantling into bloom | J |
| Before it fades for ever in the tomb | J |
| So I leave thee oh thou art lovely still | K |
| Despite the clouds of infamy and ill | K |
| That gather thickly round thy fading form | L |
| Still glow thy glorious skies as bright and warm | L |
| Still memory lingers fondly on thy strand | M |
| And Genius hails thee still her native land | M |
| Land of my soul's adoption o'er the sea | A |
| Thy sunny shore is fading rapidly | A |
| Fainter and fainter from my gaze it dies | N |
| 'Till like a line of distant light it lies | N |
| A melting boundary 'twixt earth and sky | O |
| And now 'tis gone farewell fair Italy | A |
