On A Pompeiian Bust Called "sappho." Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABB CCBB DDEE| Oh no not this This is a Roman face | A |
| Superb composed with such a matron grace | A |
| As that of great Cornelia never thee | B |
| Young princess of an ancient poetry | B |
| - | |
| Nor do I wish thy beauty from its grave | C |
| Rather one bird across the purple wave | C |
| Or the mere sight of that Aegean sea | B |
| Shall tell thy mortal loveliness to me | B |
| - | |
| Or I will find some slender broken plinth | D |
| And mark it thine with wild blue hyacinth | D |
| While some far fruit upon triumphant bough | E |
| Shall say how unattainable wert thou | E |
