Italia Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBACDEEDC| Italia 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 |
