Greek Air Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABCCBDEDEEFEF| List 'tis a Grecian maid that sings | A |
| While from Ilissus' silvery springs | A |
| She draws the cool lymph in her graceful urn | B |
| And by her side in Music's charm dissolving | C |
| Some patriot youth the glorious past revolving | C |
| Dreams of bright days that never can return | B |
| When Athens nurst her olive bough | D |
| With hands by tyrant power unchained | E |
| And braided for the muse's brow | D |
| A wreath by tyrant touch unstained | E |
| When heroes trod each classic field | E |
| Where coward feet now faintly falter | F |
| When every arm was Freedom's shield | E |
| And every heart was Freedom's altar | F |
