The Captive Dove Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCD EFEF AGAG HIHF CJCJ KBKB| Poor restless dove I pity thee | A |
| And when I hear thy plaintive moan | B |
| I mourn for thy captivity | A |
| And in thy woes forget mine own | B |
| To see thee stand prepared to fly | C |
| And flap those useless wings of thine | D |
| And gaze into the distant sky | C |
| Would melt a harder heart than mine | D |
| - | |
| In vain in vain Thou canst not rise | E |
| Thy prison roof confines thee there | F |
| Its slender wires delude thine eyes | E |
| And quench thy longings with despair | F |
| - | |
| Oh thou wert made to wander free | A |
| In sunny mead and shady grove | G |
| And far beyond the rolling sea | A |
| In distant climes at will to rove | G |
| - | |
| Yet hadst thou but one gentle mate | H |
| Thy little drooping heart to cheer | I |
| And share with thee thy captive state | H |
| Thou couldst be happy even there | F |
| - | |
| Yes even there if listening by | C |
| One faithful dear companion stood | J |
| While gazing on her full bright eye | C |
| Thou mightst forget thy native wood | J |
| - | |
| But thou poor solitary dove | K |
| Must make unheard thy joyless moan | B |
| The heart that Nature formed to love | K |
| Must pine neglected and alone | B |
