Lycabettus Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCDDDDEEDFDGDHI| Lycabett at every steep street's ending | A |
| Is there | B |
| Surprising the eyes and ascending | A |
| Aloof pointed bare | B |
| Into the bluest blue | C |
| That ever the live light | D |
| Poured pulsing through | C |
| O spiring tawny caverned crested white | D |
| Pine skirted Lycabett | D |
| Lifting above spread roofs this craggy height | D |
| What have you to do | D |
| With the sprawled city's modern swarm and hum | E |
| You that have seen the ages go and come | E |
| From the first sun rise to the last sun set | D |
| When Athens wore her wondrous bloom | F |
| Her dateless violet | D |
| You had no ornament nor dress | G |
| And who had eyes for you | D |
| Wild earth rude rock | H |
| What history Only solitariness | I |
