To Italy Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBACDCDCD| BRIGHT valor smitten by so shrewd a blow | A |
| Drooping thy golden wing like wounded plover | B |
| What great grieved faces o'er the battle hover | B |
| Patriot Mazzini Fra Angelico | A |
| Forsaking his own seraphs for thy woe | A |
| Savonarola still his country's lover | B |
| Despite the flames longing for walls to cover | B |
| With such a fresco Michael Angelo | A |
| Pity in those sweet eyes of Raphael | C |
| For all Madonnas whose young sons lie slain | D |
| Chagrin in Dante's that his far famed hell | C |
| Fades to a fantasy but weak and vain | D |
| By scenes no wildest dream could parallel | C |
| Vast agony of thy Venetian plain | D |
