A Later Alexandrian Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBABCCDBDAn inspiration caught from dubious hues | A |
Filled him and mystic wrynesses he chased | B |
For they lead farther than the single faced | B |
Wave subtler promise when desire pursues | A |
The moon of cloud discoloured was his Muse | A |
His pipe the reed of the old moaning waste | B |
Love was to him with anguish fast enlaced | B |
And Beauty where she walked blood shot the dews | A |
Men railed at such a singer women thrilled | B |
Responsively he sang not Nature's own | C |
Divinest but his lyric had a tone | C |
As 'twere a forest echo of her voice | D |
What barrenly they yearn for seemed distilled | B |
From what they dread who do through tears rejoice | D |
