To Erinna Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCADEEDFGHFGH| Was Time not harsh to you or was he kind | A |
| O pale Erinna of the perfect lyre | B |
| That he has left no word of singing fire | C |
| Whereby you waked the dreaming Lesbian wind | A |
| And kindled night along the lyric shore | D |
| O girl whose lips Erato stooped to kiss | E |
| Do you go sorrowing because of this | E |
| In fields where poets sing forevermore | D |
| Or are you glad and is it best to be | F |
| A silent music men have never heard | G |
| A dream in all our souls that we may say | H |
| Her voice had all the rapture of the sea | F |
| And all the clear cool quiver of a bird | G |
| Deep in a forest at the break of day | H |
