The Wild Gazelle Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCC DEDEFG AAAAHH ICJCKK| The wild gazelle on Judah's hills | A |
| Exulting yet may bound | B |
| And drink from all the living rills | A |
| That gush on holy ground | B |
| Its airy step and glorious eye | C |
| May glance in tameless transport by | C |
| - | |
| A step as fleet an eye more bright | D |
| Hath Judah witness'd there | E |
| And o'er her scenes of lost delight | D |
| Inhabitants more fair | E |
| The cedars wave on Lebanon | F |
| But Judah's statelier maids are gone | G |
| - | |
| More blest each palm that shades those plains | A |
| Than Israel's scatter'd race | A |
| For taking root it there remains | A |
| In solitary grace | A |
| It cannot quit the place of birth | H |
| It will not live in other earth | H |
| - | |
| But we must wander witheringly | I |
| In other lands to die | C |
| And where our fathers' ashes be | J |
| Our own may never lie | C |
| Our temple hath not left a stone | K |
| And Mockery sits on Salem's throne | K |
