The Caucas Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCADD EDDEFG HIIJKL MNDOPP| The Caucas lies before my feet I stand where | A |
| Glaciers gleam beside a precipice rock ribbed | B |
| An eagle that has soared from off some distant cliff | C |
| Lawless as I sweeps through the radiant air | A |
| Here I see streams at their sources up welling | D |
| The grim avalanches unrolling and swelling | D |
| - | |
| The soft cloudy convoys are stretched forth below | E |
| Tattered by thronging mad torrents descending | D |
| Beneath them the naked rocks downward are bending | D |
| Still deeper the wild shrubs and sparse herbage grow | E |
| But yonder the forests stand verdant in flora | F |
| And birds are a'twitter in choiring chorus | G |
| - | |
| Yonder cliff nested are dwellings of mortals | H |
| There pasture the lambs in sweet blossoming meadows | I |
| There couch the herds in the cool deepening shadows | I |
| There roar the Aragua's blue sparkling waters | J |
| And lurketh the bandit safe hid in lone caverns | K |
| Where Terek wild sporting is cutting the azure | L |
| - | |
| It leaps and it howls like some ravening beast | M |
| At first sight of feeding through grating of iron | N |
| It roars on the shore with a furious purring | D |
| It licks on the pebbles with eagerest greed | O |
| Vain struggle and rancor and hatred alas | P |
| 'Tis enchained and subdued by the unheeding mass | P |
