The New Proserpine Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABAB CDCD DEDF GHGHI| WHERE countless as the stars of night | A |
| The daisies made a milky way | B |
| Across fresh lawns and flecked with light | A |
| Old Ilex groves walled round with bay | B |
| - | |
| I saw thee stoop oh lady sweet | C |
| And with those pale frail hands of thine | D |
| Gather the spring flowers at our feet | C |
| Fair as some late born Proserpine | D |
| - | |
| Yea gathering flowers thou might'st have been | D |
| That goddess of the ethereal brow | E |
| Revisiting this radiant scene | D |
| From realm of dolorous shades below | F |
| - | |
| Thou might'st have been that Queen of Sighs | G |
| Love bound by Hades' dreadful spell | H |
| For veiled within thy heaven blue eyes | G |
| There lay the Memory of Hell | H |
| Villa Pamfili Doria | I |
