Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEFECCDGFHIDJCKCL MNOP| I LEAVE thee beauteous Italy no more | A |
| From the high terraces at even tide | B |
| To look supine into thy depths of sky | C |
| Thy golden moon between the cliff and me | D |
| Or thy dark spires of fretted cypresses | E |
| Bordering the channel of the milky way | F |
| Fiesole and Valdarno must be dreams | E |
| Hereafter and my own lost Affrico | C |
| Murmur to me but in the poet s song | C |
| I did believe what have I not believ d | D |
| Weary with age but unoppress d by pain | G |
| To close in thy soft clime my quiet day | F |
| And rest my bones in the mimosa s shade | H |
| Hope Hope few ever cherish d thee so little | I |
| Few are the heads thou hast so rarely rais d | D |
| But thou didst promise this and all was well | J |
| For we are fond of thinking where to lie | C |
| When every pulse hath ceas d when the lone heart | K |
| Can lift no aspiration reasoning | C |
| As if the sight were unimpair d by death | L |
| Were unobstructed by the coffin lid | M |
| And the sun cheer d corruption Over all | N |
| The smiles of Nature shed a potent charm | O |
| And light us to our chamber at the grave | P |
