Genoa And The Mediterranean. Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AAA BBB CCC AAA AAA AAA| O epic famed god haunted Central Sea | A |
| Heave careless of the deep wrong done to thee | A |
| When from Torino's track I saw thy face first flash on me | A |
| - | |
| And multimarbled Genova the Proud | B |
| Gleam all unconscious how wide lipped up browed | B |
| I first beheld thee clad not as the Beauty but the Dowd | B |
| - | |
| Out from a deep delved way my vision lit | C |
| On housebacks pink green ochreous where a slit | C |
| Shoreward 'twixt row and row revealed the classic blue through it | C |
| - | |
| And thereacross waved fishwives' high hung smocks | A |
| Chrome kerchiefs scarlet hose darned underfrocks | A |
| Since when too oft my dreams of thee O Queen that frippery mocks | A |
| - | |
| Whereat I grieve Superba Afterhours | A |
| Within Palazzo Doria's orange bowers | A |
| Went far to mend these marrings of thy soul subliming powers | A |
| - | |
| But Queen such squalid undress none should see | A |
| Those dream endangering eyewounds no more be | A |
| Where lovers first behold thy form in pilgrimage to thee | A |
