Song 1 Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABBCCDDDDEE FF GGHHIIIIJJDD| OH bear me to the groves of palm | A |
| Where perfum'd airs diffuse their balm | A |
| And when the noon tide beams invade | B |
| Then lay me in the embow'ring shade | B |
| Where Bananas o'er my head | C |
| Mingling with the Tam'rind spread | C |
| Where the long liannes combining | D |
| Wild festoons of flow'rs entwining | D |
| Fragrant cassia softly blowing | D |
| Lime and orange ever glowing | D |
| All their spicy breath exhale | E |
| To scent the pleasure fanning gale | E |
| - | |
| There her sweet ambrosial stores | F |
| Nature in profusion pours | F |
| - | |
| The cocoa's nectar let me sip | G |
| The citron's juice refresh my lip | G |
| While around me hovering play | H |
| Birds in radiant plumage gay | H |
| And amidst the foliage raise | I |
| Melodies in varied lays | I |
| There in aromatic bow'rs | I |
| Be mine to pass the summer hours | I |
| Or by some clear cascade reclin'd | J |
| Whose dashing sound may lull the mind | J |
| Wake the lyre and tune the song | D |
| Scenes of paradise among | D |
