Sonnet Written In Holy Week At Genoa Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBACDEEDC| I WANDERED in Scoglietto's green retreat | A |
| The oranges on each o'erhanging spray | B |
| Burned as bright lamps of gold to shame the day | B |
| Some startled bird with fluttering wings and fleet | A |
| Made snow of all the blossoms at my feet | A |
| Like silver moons the pale narcissi lay | B |
| And the curved waves that streaked the sapphire bay | B |
| Laughed i' the sun and life seemed very sweet | A |
| Outside the young boy priest passed singing clear | C |
| Jesus the Son of Mary has been slain | D |
| O come and fill his sepulchre with flowers | E |
| Ah God Ah God those dear Hellenic hours | E |
| Had drowned all memory of Thy bitter pain | D |
| The Cross the Crown the Soldiers and the Spear | C |
