Row Gently Here. (venetian Air.) Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCAACDEDE ABFGGFHEHE| Row gently here | A |
| My gondolier | B |
| So softly wake the tide | C |
| That not an ear | A |
| On earth may hear | A |
| But hers to whom we glide | C |
| Had Heaven but tongues to speak as well | D |
| As starry eyes to see | E |
| Oh think what tales 'twould have to tell | D |
| Of wandering youths like me | E |
| - | |
| Now rest thee here | A |
| My gondolier | B |
| Hush hush for up I go | F |
| To climb yon light | G |
| Balcony's height | G |
| While thou keep'st watch below | F |
| Ah did we take for Heaven above | H |
| But half such pains as we | E |
| Take day and night for woman's love | H |
| What' Angels we should be | E |
