America Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCBDEDEFGFHII| Although she feeds me bread of bitterness | A |
| And sinks into my throat her tiger's tooth | B |
| Stealing my breath of life I will confess | C |
| I love this cultured hell that tests my youth | B |
| Her vigor flows like tides into my blood | D |
| Giving me strength erect against her hate | E |
| Her bigness sweeps my being like a flood | D |
| Yet as a rebel fronts a king in state | E |
| I stand within her walls with not a shred | F |
| Of terror malice not a word of jeer | G |
| Darkly I gaze into the days ahead | F |
| And see her might and granite wonders there | H |
| Beneath the touch of Time's unerring hand | I |
| Like priceless treasures sinking in the sand | I |
