The Hunter's Indian Dove Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABBCCDDEEFF GGHHFF| DARK is her cheek but her blood s rich blush | A |
| Comes through its dusk with a sunset flush | A |
| While joy like a prairie bee slaketh its drouth | B |
| At the red honey cup of her smiling mouth | B |
| And her wild eyes glow like meteors there | C |
| Neath the streaming storm of her night black hair | C |
| And ever I pride in my forest choice | D |
| The more while I list to her bird like voice | D |
| Warbling old songs in her own wild speech | E |
| But with this new burden still added to each | E |
| Who ll pity who ll comfort the dark wood dove | F |
| When the white hawk leaves her to die of love | F |
| - | |
| O then by the artless tears that rise | G |
| Neath the downcast lids of her gleaming eyes | G |
| By the truthfully tender and touching grace | H |
| That boding passion then lends to her face | H |
| I swear in the very wild spirit of love | F |
| Never to leave her my Indian dove | F |
