Homer's Hymn To The Sun Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: AABCDDEEFFGG GGHHIIJJKKLL

Offspring of Jove Calliope once moreA
To the bright Sun thy hymn of music pourA
Whom to the child of star clad Heaven and EarthB
Euryphaessa large eyed nymph brought forthC
Euryphaessa the famed sister fairD
Of great Hyperion who to him did bearD
A race of loveliest children the young MornE
Whose arms are like twin roses newly bornE
The fair haired Moon and the immortal SunF
Who borne by heavenly steeds his race doth runF
Unconquerably illuming the abodesG
Of mortal Men and the eternal GodsG
-
Fiercely look forth his awe inspiring eyesG
Beneath his golden helmet whence ariseG
And are shot forth afar clear beams of lightH
His countenance with radiant glory brightH
Beneath his graceful locks far shines aroundI
And the light vest with which his limbs are boundI
Of woof aethereal delicately twinedJ
Glows in the stream of the uplifting windJ
His rapid steeds soon bear him to the WestK
Where their steep flight his hands divine arrestK
And the fleet car with yoke of gold which heL
Sends from bright Heaven beneath the shadowy seaL
