Vita Nuova Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBCCDDECFGCFGI stood by the unvintageable sea | A |
Till the wet waves drenched face and hair with spray | B |
The long red fires of the dying day | B |
Burned in the west the wind piped drearily | C |
And to the land the clamorous gulls did flee | C |
'Alas ' I cried 'my life is full of pain | D |
And who can garner fruit or golden grain | D |
From these waste fields which travail ceaselessly ' | E |
My nets gaped wide with many a break and flaw | C |
Nathless I threw them as my final cast | F |
Into the sea and waited for the end | G |
When lo a sudden glory and I saw | C |
From the black waters of my tortured past | F |
The argent splendour of white limbs ascend | G |
