Stanzas Written On The Road Between Florence And Pisa Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AAAA BBAA CCDD AAAA| Oh talk not to me of a name great in story | A |
| The days of our youth are the days of our glory | A |
| And the myrtle and ivy of sweet two and twenty | A |
| Are worth all your laurels though ever so plenty | A |
| - | |
| What are garlands and crowns to the brow that is wrinkled | B |
| 'Tis but as a dead flower with May dew besprinkled | B |
| Then away with all such from the head that is hoary | A |
| What care I for the wreaths that can only give glory | A |
| - | |
| O Fame if I e'er took delight in thy praises | C |
| 'Twas less for the sake of thy high sounding phrases | C |
| Than to see the bright eyes of the dear one discover | D |
| She thought that I was not unworthy to love her | D |
| - | |
| There chiefly I sought thee there only I found thee | A |
| Her glance was the best of the rays that surround thee | A |
| When it sparkled o'er aught that was bright in my story | A |
| I knew it was love and I felt it was glory | A |
George Gordon Byron
