Noon At Pëstum Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBA CDEFGG| Lord of the Sea we sun filled creatures raise | A |
| Our hands among the clamorous weeds we too | B |
| Lord of the Sun and of the upper blue | B |
| Of all To morrow and all yesterdays | A |
| Here where the thousand broken names and ways | A |
| Of worship are but shards we wandered through | B |
| There is no gift to offer or undo | B |
| There is no prayer left in us only praise | A |
| - | |
| Only to glory in this glory here | C |
| Through the dead smoke of myriad sacrifice | D |
| To look through these blue spaces blind and clear | E |
| Even as the seaward gaze of Homer's eyes | F |
| And from uplifted heart and cup to pour | G |
| Wine to the Unknown God We ask no more | G |
