Shelley Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCAABBA DEFDEFKnight errant of the Never ending Quest | A |
And Minstrel of the Unfulfilled Desire | B |
For ever tuning thy frail earthly lyre | C |
To some unearthly music and possessed | A |
With painful passionate longing to invest | A |
The golden dream of Love's immortal fire | B |
In mortal robes of beautiful attire | B |
And fold perfection to thy throbbing breast | A |
- | |
What wonder Shelley if the restless wave | D |
Should claim thee and the leaping flame consume | E |
Thy drifted form on Viareggio's beach | F |
Fate to thy body gave a fitting grave | D |
And bade thy soul ride on with fiery plume | E |
Thy wild song ring in ocean's yearning speech | F |
