Rhyme Scheme: ABACDB EFEGGF HIHJJI KLKMMLThy tones are silver melted into sound | A |
And as I dream | B |
I see no walls around | A |
But seem to hear | C |
A gondolier | D |
Sing sweetly down some slow Venetian stream | B |
- | |
Italian skies that I have never seen | E |
I see above | F |
Ah play again my queen | E |
Thy fingers white | G |
Fly swift and light | G |
And weave for me the golden mesh of love | F |
- | |
Oh thou dusk sorceress of the dusky eyes | H |
And soft dark hair | I |
'T is thou that mak'st my skies | H |
So swift to change | J |
To far and strange | J |
But far and strange thou still dost make them fair | I |
- | |
Now thou dost sing and I am lost in thee | K |
As one who drowns | L |
In floods of melody | K |
Still in thy art | M |
Give me this part | M |
Till perfect love the love of loving crowns | L |
Paul Laurence Dunbar
