Thyrsis Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCCBDDEEFFGGHH| More sweet thy pipe's enchanting melody | A |
| Than streams that fall from broken rocks on high | B |
| Say by the nymphs that guard the sacred scene | C |
| Where lowly tamarisks shade these hillocks green | C |
| At noontide shall we lie | B |
| No for o'erwearied with the forest chase | D |
| Pan the great hunter god sleeps in this place | D |
| Beneath the branching elm while thy sad verse | E |
| O Thyrsis Daphnis' sorrows shall rehearse | E |
| Fronting the wood nymph's solitary seat | F |
| Whose fountains flash amid the dark retreat | F |
| Where the old statue leans and brown oaks wave | G |
| Their ancient umbrage o'er the pastoral cave | G |
| There will we rest and thou as erst prolong | H |
| The sweet enchantment of the Doric song | H |
