Odes Of Anacreon - Ode Xxxvii Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABBCCDD EFGGHHIJKKLLMMNO'Twas night and many a circling bowl | A |
Had deeply warmed my thirsty soul | A |
As lulled in slumber I was laid | B |
Bright visions o'er my fancy played | B |
With maidens blooming as the dawn | C |
I seemed to skim the opening lawn | C |
Light on tiptoe bathed in dew | D |
We flew and sported as we flew | D |
- | |
Some ruddy striplings who lookt on | E |
With cheeks that like the wine god's shone | F |
Saw me chasing free and wild | G |
These blooming maids and slyly smiled | G |
Smiled indeed with wanton glee | H |
Though none could doubt they envied me | H |
And still I flew and now had caught | I |
The panting nymphs and fondly thought | J |
To gather from each rosy lip | K |
A kiss that Jove himself might sip | K |
When sudden all my dream of joys | L |
Blushing nymphs and laughing boys | L |
All were gone Alas I said | M |
Sighing for the illusion fled | M |
Again sweet sleep that scene restore | N |
Oh let me dream it o'er and o'er | O |
