Greek Lyrics Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEFGHICJKELMNOP| O WORDS as clear as are the dawn sky rifts | A |
| Between the still cloud layers and eke as sweet | B |
| As violets are looking through crystal dew | C |
| And with such melody as birds may have | D |
| That sing the morning notes where peace and joy | E |
| Are mingled all and every thought is still | F |
| O Words ye come to me a toiler here | G |
| With life blood hurrying thro' imperilled veins | H |
| Ye come as from a heaven a heaven on earth | I |
| Wherein I know not when ye were mine too | C |
| Ah me clear Words sweet Words melodious | J |
| Too long an unknown tongue are ye to me | K |
| A tongue unknown too long for peace and joy | E |
| No heaven on earth but ever earth on heaven | L |
| I pile and dwindle piling Pass away | M |
| For I can linger not nor ease my toil | N |
| Away and leave me with the dreadful night | O |
| And all the sadness of the voiceless stars | P |
