Sonnet: - Xvii Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCDEFEFGG| THERE WAS A TIME and that is all we know | A |
| No record lives of their ensanguined deeds | B |
| The past seems palsied with some giant blow | A |
| And grows the more obscure on what it feeds | B |
| A rotted fragment of a human leaf | C |
| A few stray skulls a heap of human bones | D |
| These are the records the traditions brief | C |
| 'Twere easier far to read the speechless stones | D |
| The fierce Ojibwas with tornado force | E |
| Striking white terror to the hearts of braves | F |
| The mighty Hurons rolling on their course | E |
| Compact and steady as the ocean waves | F |
| The stately Chippewas a warrior host | G |
| Who were they Whence And why no human tongue can boast | G |
