Aphrodite Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCABDDCEFGEFHHG IJKIJLLK| On a golden dawn in the dawn sublime | A |
| Of years ere the stars had ceased to sing | B |
| Beautiful out of the sea deeps cold | C |
| Aphrodite arose the Flower of Time | A |
| That dear till the day of her blossoming | B |
| The old old Sea had borne in his heart | D |
| Around her worshipping waves did part | D |
| Tremulous glowing in rose and gold | C |
| And the birds broke forth into singing sweet | E |
| And flowers born scentless breathed perfume | F |
| Softly she smiled upon Man forlorn | G |
| And the music of love in his wild heart beat | E |
| And down to the pit went his gods of gloom | F |
| And earth grew bright and fair as a bride | H |
| And folk in star worlds wondering cried | H |
| Lo in the skies a new star is born | G |
| - | |
| O Beloved thus on my small world you | I |
| Rose flushing it all with rosy flame | J |
| Changing sad thoughts to a singing throng | K |
| And creating the earth and the sky anew | I |
| As Love you appeared and lo you are Fame | J |
| And all my follies and sins despite | L |
| You yet Beloved may see my light | L |
| Small but a star mid the stars of song | K |
