Sirmio Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AAABCD EFGHAIAJ| Sirmio you jewel of all peninsulas | A |
| and all the islands of the crystal lakes | A |
| and the great oceans Neptune circles | A |
| how delightedly how gladly I return | B |
| hardly believing myself I ve safely left | C |
| Thynia and those Black Sea shores behind | D |
| - | |
| What is better than to be free from care | E |
| when the mind throws off its load and at last | F |
| from foreign journeys we reach our own home | G |
| sink back to rest on the one bed we longed for | H |
| This is reward enough for all our efforts | A |
| You welcome sight O lovely Sirmio be happy | I |
| and you too Lydian Lake Garda s waters | A |
| laugh with whatever gleaming laughter you have | J |
