Salve Saturnia Tellus Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBACDEEDC| I reached the Alps the soul within me burned | A |
| Italia my Italia at thy name | B |
| And when from out the mountain's heart I came | B |
| And saw the land for which my life had yearned | A |
| I laughed as one who some great prize had earned | A |
| And musing on the story of thy fame | B |
| I watched the day till marked with wounds of flame | B |
| The turquoise sky to burnished gold was turned | A |
| The pine trees waved as waves a woman's hair | C |
| And in the orchards every twining spray | D |
| Was breaking into flakes of blossoming foam | E |
| But when I knew that far away at Rome | E |
| In evil bonds a second Peter lay | D |
| I wept to see the land so very fair | C |
