Shelley Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: ABCAABBA DEFDEF

Knight errant of the Never ending QuestA
And Minstrel of the Unfulfilled DesireB
For ever tuning thy frail earthly lyreC
To some unearthly music and possessedA
With painful passionate longing to investA
The golden dream of Love's immortal fireB
In mortal robes of beautiful attireB
And fold perfection to thy throbbing breastA
-
What wonder Shelley if the restless waveD
Should claim thee and the leaping flame consumeE
Thy drifted form on Viareggio's beachF
Fate to thy body gave a fitting graveD
And bade thy soul ride on with fiery plumeE
Thy wild song ring in ocean's yearning speechF

Henry Van Dyke
