Memorials Of A Tour In Italy, 1837 - X. - Near Anio's Stream, I Spied A Gentle Dove Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBACBBDEFEFFE| Near Anio's stream I spied a gentle Dove | A |
| Perched on an olive branch and heard her cooing | B |
| 'Mid new born blossoms that soft airs were wooing | B |
| While all things present told of joy and love | A |
| But restless Fancy left that olive grove | C |
| To hail the exploratory Bird renewing | B |
| Hope for the few who at the world's undoing | B |
| On the great flood were spared to live and move | D |
| O bounteous Heaven signs true as dove and bough | E |
| Brought to the ark are coming evermore | F |
| Given though we seek them not but while we plough | E |
| This sea of life without a visible shore | F |
| Do neither promise ask nor grace implore | F |
| In what alone is ours the living Now | E |
