Sicily, December 1908 Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBA CDECFE| O garden isle beloved by Sun and Sea | A |
| Whose bluest billows kiss thy curving bays | B |
| Whose amorous light enfolds thee in warm rays | B |
| That fill with fruit each dark leaved orange tree | A |
| What hidden hatred hath the Earth for thee | A |
| Behold again in these dark dreadful days | B |
| She trembles with her wrath and swiftly lays | B |
| Thy beauty waste in wreck and agony | A |
| - | |
| Is Nature then a strife of jealous powers | C |
| And man the plaything of unconscious fate | D |
| Not so my troubled heart God reigns above | E |
| And man is greatest in his darkest hours | C |
| Walking amid the cities desolate | F |
| The Son of God appears in human love | E |
