Aphrodite Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQFRS TFUVWOOXYWLZUA2| Apollo never smote a lovelier strain | A |
| When swan necked Hebe paused her thirsty bowl | B |
| A sparkle with its wealth of nectar draughts | C |
| To lend a list'ners ear and smile on him | D |
| As that the Tritons blew on wreathed horns | E |
| When Aphrodite the cold ocean foam | F |
| Bursting its bubbles from the hissing snow | G |
| Whirled her nude form on Hyperion's gaze | H |
| Naked and fresh as Indian Ocean shell | I |
| Dashed landward from its bed of sucking sponge | J |
| And branching corals by the changed monsoon | K |
| Wind rocked she swung her white feet on the sea | L |
| And music raved down the slant western winds | M |
| With swollen jowls the Tritons puffed the conch | N |
| Where breasting with cold bosoms the green waves | O |
| That laughed in ripples at Love's misty feet | P |
| Oceanids with dimple dented palms | Q |
| Smote sidewise the pale bubbles of the foam | F |
| Which wove a silver iris 'round her form | R |
| Where dolphins tumbling stained the garish arch | S |
| Ner ides sang braiding their wet locks | T |
| Or flung them streaming on the broken foam | F |
| Till evetide showed her loveliest of stars | U |
| Lost passion flower of the sinking sun | V |
| In the cool sheen of shadowy waters deep | W |
| That moaned wild sea songs at the Sirens' caves | O |
| Then in a hollow pearl o'er moon white waves | O |
| The creatures of the ocean danced their queen | X |
| Till Cytherea like a rosy mist | Y |
| Beneath the star rose blushing from the deep | W |
| On the pearled sands of a moon glassing sea | L |
| Beneath the moon narcissus like they met | Z |
| She naked as a star and crowned with stars | U |
| Child of the airy foam and queen of love | A2 |
