Venice Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCCDEDEFFGGHHIIJJ KKLLMMNNOO| White clouds that rose clouds chase | A |
| Till the sky laughs round blue and bare | B |
| Sunbeams that quivering waves out race | A |
| To sparkle kisses on a marble stair | B |
| Indolent water that images | C |
| Slender pillared palaces | C |
| Or glides in shadow and sun where over | D |
| Walls that leaning crumble red | E |
| Milky blossom and fresh leaf hover | D |
| Or glitters in endless morning spread | E |
| Far and faint for dazzling miles | F |
| To lonely towers and cypress isles | F |
| Where phantom mountains hang on high | G |
| Along the mist of northern sky | G |
| O Love what idle tale is told | H |
| That these are glories famed and old | H |
| For to day I know it is all in you | I |
| This vision bathed in magic blue | I |
| My sea that girdles me round and round | J |
| With winding arms in deeps profound | J |
| And bears our thoughts like golden sails | K |
| To be lost where the far verge gleams and pales | K |
| My sky that over the mountains brings | L |
| The stars and gives us wondrous wings | L |
| My dawn that pierces the secret night | M |
| To the central heart of burning light | M |
| And thousand coloured flames and flowers | N |
| In radiant palaces domes and towers | N |
| A marvel born of sky and sea | O |
| 'Tis all in you that have given it me | O |
