La Vita Nuova Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEFGH IJKLM| Last summer in the blue heat | A |
| Over the beach in the burning air | B |
| A legless beggar lurched on calloused fists | C |
| To where I waited with the sun dazed birds | D |
| He said The summer boils away My life | E |
| Joins to another life this parched skin | F |
| Dries and dies and flakes away | G |
| Becomes your costume when the torn leaves blow | H |
| - | |
| Thus in the losing autumn | I |
| Over the streets I now lurch | J |
| Legless to your side and speak your name | K |
| Under a gray sky ripped apart | L |
| By thunder and the changing wind | M |
