To Sappho I Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBACCCDDB| Impassioned singer of the happy time | A |
| When all the world was waking into morn | B |
| And dew still glistened on the tangled thorn | B |
| And lingered on the branches of the lime | A |
| Oh peerless singer of the golden rhyme | A |
| Happy wert thou to live ere doubt was born | B |
| Before the joy of life was half out worn | B |
| And nymphs and satyrs vanished from your clime | A |
| Then maidens bearing parsley in their hands | C |
| Wound thro' the groves to where the goddess stands | C |
| And mariners might sail for unknown lands | C |
| Past sea clasped islands veiled in mystery | D |
| And Venus still was shining from the sea | D |
| And Ceres had not lost Persephone | B |
