Lemnos Visited Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCDEFEFGG| Oh Peace The Peace I knew I thought thee dead | A |
| And had not hoped again to see thy smile | B |
| I deemed thee dead but thou hadst only fled | A |
| And his they face within a Grecian isle | B |
| The sun that rises in the early morn | C |
| Now gilds these purple hills with golden light | D |
| The land of Lemnos hath not felt the thorn | C |
| Of thoughtless war It hath a calm delight | D |
| In waving fields a lazy grinding mill | E |
| In winding shores a drowsy lapping sea | F |
| A humble church upon a dreaming hill | E |
| A sleeping silence and a home for thee | F |
| But let us not molest the bloodless reign | G |
| Lest fields of flowers change to fields of pain | G |
