Lemnos Revisited Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCDCECECC| Lemnos Lemnos Thine enfolding arms | A |
| Have held too much they patterned hills are over shorn | B |
| Of all their one time freshness Loud alarms | A |
| And trampling tread have left thee stained and torn | B |
| Oh gone those bleating lambs Those grinding mills | C |
| Those smiles of peace that were thy constant joy | D |
| Hast gathered to thyself too much those ills | C |
| And pains smoke fouled from off the plain of Troy | D |
| Which bruised and bloody in its modernness | C |
| And wet with tears as those Achilles shed | E |
| For Patroclus has spoiled thy loveliness | C |
| And housed thy bosom with its wear dead | E |
| Lemnos There are those who still can trace | C |
| Soft lines of beauty on thy dusty face | C |
