Columbus Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABBCCDD| Steer on bold sailor Wit may mock thy soul that sees the land | A |
| And hopeless at the helm may droop the weak and weary hand | A |
| Yet ever ever to the West for there the coast must lie | B |
| And dim it dawns and glimmering dawns before thy reason's eye | B |
| Yea trust the guiding God and go along the floating grave | C |
| Though hid till now yet now behold the New World o'er the wave | C |
| With genius Nature ever stands in solemn union still | D |
| And ever what the one foretells the other shall fulfil | D |
Friedrich Schiller
