To Eleonora Duse In Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBACDDCCD| Were you a Greek when all the world was young | A |
| Before the weary years that pass and pass | B |
| Had scattered all the temples on the grass | B |
| Before the moss to marble columns clung | A |
| I think your snowy tunic must have hung | A |
| As now your gown does wave on wave a mass | B |
| Of woven water As within a glass | B |
| I see your face when Homer's tales were sung | A |
| Alcaeus kissed your mouth and found it sweet | C |
| And Sappho's hand has lingered in your hand | D |
| You half remember Lesbos as you stand | D |
| Where all the times and countries mix and meet | C |
| And lay your weight of beauty at our feet | C |
| A garland gathered in a distant land | D |
