Marlena Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCACCCDAEAEAAAFCCAG GCC| Far off in the sea is Marlena | A |
| A land of shades and streams | B |
| A land of many delights | C |
| Dark and bold thy shores Marlena | A |
| But green and timorous thy soft knolls | C |
| Crouching behind the woodlands | C |
| All shady thy hills all gleaming thy springs | C |
| Like eyes in the earth looking at you | D |
| How charming thy haunts Marlena | A |
| Oh the waters that flow through Onimoo | E |
| Oh the leaves that rustle through Ponoo | A |
| Oh the roses that blossom in Tarma | E |
| Come and see the valley of Vina | A |
| How sweet how sweet the Isles from Hina | A |
| 'Tis aye afternoon of the full full moon | A |
| And ever the season of fruit | F |
| And ever the hour of flowers | C |
| And never the time of rains and gales | C |
| All in and about Marlena | A |
| Soft sigh the boughs in the stilly air | G |
| Soft lap the beach the billows there | G |
| And in the woods or by the streams | C |
| You needs must nod in the Land of Dreams | C |
