Blue and clear, the sky stretches over valleys
Cloudless splendour heralding summer’s fervour.
Autumn’s colours fade as the flush of summer
Brightens life vivid .
#sapphic verse
The Sapphic Stanza is made up of three unrhymed lines of eleven syllables and one of five. Each line consists of two trochees, one dactyl and two trochees. This line is termed a Sapphic.
The (fourth) last line consists of one dactyl and one trochee, and is termed an Adonic. This gives a rhyme scheme of:
/. u.. /. u.. /. u.u.. /. u.. /. u.. /. u.. /. u.. /. u.u.. /. u.. /. u.. /. u.. /. u.. /. u.u.. /. u.. /. u.. /. u.u.. /. u.. |
It has already been stated that there are eleven syllables to each line, and also that there are five feet of unrhymed lines as well.
And where may you be to see such sights???

The first sign of my loving you was the dream
You and I locked tight in our deepest sweet probe
We took each breath so long and held it sweetly
I gave her my life
