Odes Of Anacreon - Ode Xliii Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABBCCDDEFGGHHIIJJKL MNOOPP| While our rosy fillets shed | A |
| Freshness o'er each fervid head | A |
| With many a cup and many a smile | B |
| The festal moments we beguile | B |
| And while the harp impassioned flings | C |
| Tuneful rapture from its strings | C |
| Some airy nymph with graceful bound | D |
| Keeps measure to the music's sound | D |
| Waving in her snowy hand | E |
| The leafy Bacchanalian wand | F |
| Which as the tripping wanton flies | G |
| Trembles all over to her sighs | G |
| A youth the while with loosened hair | H |
| Floating on the listless air | H |
| Sings to the wild harp's tender tone | I |
| A tale of woe alas his own | I |
| And oh the sadness in his sigh | J |
| As o'er his lips the accents die | J |
| Never sure on earth has been | K |
| Half so bright so blest a scene | L |
| It seems as Love himself had come | M |
| To make this spot his chosen home | N |
| And Venus too with all her wiles | O |
| And Bacchus shedding rosy smiles | O |
| All all are here to hail with me | P |
| The Genius of Festivity | P |
