Song In Exile Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AAAABA AAAAAA CDCEFETHE rustling palms bend readily | A |
Between the sun and me | A |
The trades blow warm and steadily | A |
Across the turquoise sea | A |
But I'd rather feel the March wind bite | B |
In the country of the free | A |
- | |
Hibiscus and camellias | A |
Bloom here abundantly | A |
And roses and gardenias | A |
The sweetest flowers there be | A |
But I'd rather see through the bare north woods | A |
One bridal dogwood tree | A |
- | |
The tropic light is mellow | C |
As a lamp in a lighted room | D |
The sun shines high and yellow | C |
In the quivering cloudless dome | E |
But oh for the snow and the cruel cold | F |
And the rigors of my home | E |
