Janet Mcrea Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCCDEDEE AFAFGGHIHIIShe heard the fight was over | A |
And won the wrath of fame | B |
When tidings from her lover | A |
With his good war steed came | B |
To guard her safely to his tent | C |
The red men of the woods were sent | C |
They led her where sweet waters gush | D |
Under the pine tree bough | E |
The tomahawk is raised to crush | D |
'Tis buried in her brow | E |
She sleeps beneath that pine tree now | E |
- | |
Her broken hearted lover | A |
In hopeless conflict died | F |
The forest leaves now cover | A |
That soldier and his bride | F |
The frown of the Great Spirit fell | G |
Upon the red men like a spell | G |
No more those waters slake their thirst | H |
Shadeless to them that tree | I |
O'er land and lake they roam accurst | H |
And in the clouds they see | I |
Thy spirit unavenged McRea | I |
