The Onondaga Madonna Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAACCA DEFFED| She stands full throated and with careless pose | A |
| This woman of a weird and waning race | B |
| The tragic savage lurking in her face | B |
| Where all her pagan passion burns and glows | A |
| Her blood is mingled with her ancient foes | A |
| And thrills with war and wildness in her veins | C |
| Her rebel lips are dabbled with the stains | C |
| Of feuds and forays and her father's woes | A |
| - | |
| And closer in the shawl about her breast | D |
| The latest promise of her nation's doom | E |
| Paler than she her baby clings and lies | F |
| The primal warrior gleaming from his eyes | F |
| He sulks and burdened with his infant gloom | E |
| He draws his heavy brows and will not rest | D |
