Bermudas Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABB CCDDCCEEFFGGAACCAACC AAHHAAIIAAJJ AAKK| Where the remote Bermudas ride | A |
| In th' ocean's bosom unespy'd | A |
| From a small boat that row'd along | B |
| The list'ning winds receiv'd this song | B |
| - | |
| What should we do but sing his praise | C |
| That led us through the wat'ry maze | C |
| Unto an isle so long unknown | D |
| And yet far kinder than our own | D |
| Where he the huge sea monsters wracks | C |
| That lift the deep upon their backs | C |
| He lands us on a grassy stage | E |
| Safe from the storm's and prelates' rage | E |
| He gave us this eternal spring | F |
| Which here enamels everything | F |
| And sends the fowls to us in care | G |
| On daily visits through the air | G |
| He hangs in shades the orange bright | A |
| Like golden lamps in a green night | A |
| And does in the pomegranates close | C |
| Jewels more rich than Ormus shows | C |
| He makes the figs our mouths to meet | A |
| And throws the melons at our feet | A |
| But apples plants of such a price | C |
| No tree could ever bear them twice | C |
| With cedars chosen by his hand | A |
| From Lebanon he stores the land | A |
| And makes the hollow seas that roar | H |
| Proclaim the ambergris on shore | H |
| He cast of which we rather boast | A |
| The Gospel's pearl upon our coast | A |
| And in these rocks for us did frame | I |
| A temple where to sound his name | I |
| Oh let our voice his praise exalt | A |
| Till it arrive at heaven's vault | A |
| Which thence perhaps rebounding may | J |
| Echo beyond the Mexic Bay | J |
| - | |
| Thus sung they in the English boat | A |
| An holy and a cheerful note | A |
| And all the way to guide their chime | K |
| With falling oars they kept the time | K |
