Lady Hamilton Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCDEFEFGGMen wondered why I loved you and none guessed | A |
How sweet your slow divine stupidity | B |
Your look of earth your sense of drowsy rest | A |
So rich so strange so all unlike my sea | B |
After the temper of my sails my lean | C |
Tall masts you were the lure of harbour hours | D |
A sleepy landscape warm and very green | C |
Where browsing creatures stare above still flowers | D |
These salt hands holding sweetness the leader led | E |
A slave too happy and crazed to rule | F |
Sea land locked brine and honey in one bed | E |
And Englands's man your servant and your fool | F |
My banqueting eyes foreswore my waiting ships | G |
I was a silly landsman at your lips | G |
