Italia Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBACDEEDC FItalia thou art fallen though with sheen | A |
Of battle spears thy clamorous armies stride | B |
From the north Alps to the Sicilian tide | B |
Ay fallen though the nations hail thee Queen | A |
Because rich gold in every town is seen | A |
And on thy sapphire lake in tossing pride | B |
Of wind filled vans thy myriad galleys ride | B |
Beneath one flag of red and white and green | A |
O Fair and Strong O Strong and Fair in vain | C |
Look southward where Rome's desecrated town | D |
Lies mourning for her God anointed King | E |
Look heaven ward shall God allow this thing | E |
Nay but some flame girt Raphael shall come down | D |
And smite the Spoiler with the sword of pain | C |
