Dante Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAACBADCDEDETuscan that wanderest through the realms of gloom | A |
With thoughtful pace and sad majestic eyes | B |
Stern thoughts and awful from thy soul arise | B |
Like Farinata from his fiery tomb | A |
Thy sacred song is like the trump of doom | A |
Yet in thy heart what human sympathies | C |
What soft compassion glows as in the skies | B |
The tender stars their clouded lamps relume | A |
Methinks I see thee stand with pallid cheeks | D |
By Fra Hilario in his diocese | C |
As up the convent walls in golden streaks | D |
The ascending sunbeams mark the day's decrease | E |
And as he asks what there the stranger seeks | D |
Thy voice along the cloister whispers Peace | E |
Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
