Genoa And The Mediterranean. Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: AAA BBB CCC AAA AAA AAA

O epic famed god haunted Central SeaA
Heave careless of the deep wrong done to theeA
When from Torino's track I saw thy face first flash on meA
-
And multimarbled Genova the ProudB
Gleam all unconscious how wide lipped up browedB
I first beheld thee clad not as the Beauty but the DowdB
-
Out from a deep delved way my vision litC
On housebacks pink green ochreous where a slitC
Shoreward 'twixt row and row revealed the classic blue through itC
-
And thereacross waved fishwives' high hung smocksA
Chrome kerchiefs scarlet hose darned underfrocksA
Since when too oft my dreams of thee O Queen that frippery mocksA
-
Whereat I grieve Superba AfterhoursA
Within Palazzo Doria's orange bowersA
Went far to mend these marrings of thy soul subliming powersA
-
But Queen such squalid undress none should seeA
Those dream endangering eyewounds no more beA
Where lovers first behold thy form in pilgrimage to theeA
