Bermuda Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCBAA CCCCAA DEDECC FGHGAA IJIKAK LKLKMM| O charming blossom of the sea | A |
| Atlantic waters bosomed in | B |
| Abiding place of gayety | C |
| Elysian bower of Cora Linn | B |
| The sprightly lively debiteuse | A |
| Recounting all she sees and does | A |
| - | |
| Oh how it makes the northern heart | C |
| With sluggish current half congealed | C |
| In ecstasy and vigor start | C |
| To read about this tropic field | C |
| The garden of luxuriousness | A |
| In winter wearing summer's dress | A |
| - | |
| With gelid sap and frozen gum | D |
| In maple trees and hackmatack | E |
| While waiting for the spring to come | D |
| Of life's necessities we lack | E |
| And sip the nectar that we find | C |
| In luscious fruit with golden rind | C |
| - | |
| But down the street we dread to walk | F |
| For all the teachings of our youth | G |
| Receive an agonizing shock | H |
| Do tempting labels lie forsooth | G |
| For out of Florida she says | A |
| Come our Bermuda oranges | A |
| - | |
| To speed the penitential prayer | I |
| Our rosary we finger o'er | J |
| A yellow necklace rich and rare | I |
| 'Twas purchased at the dollar store | K |
| But oh it makes us sigh to see | A |
| That land of amber bijouterie | K |
| - | |
| Oh ocean wave and flying sail | L |
| Shall never waft us to its shore | K |
| But if some reckless cyclone gale | L |
| Should drop Bermuda at our door | K |
| 'Twould warm our February sky | M |
| And bring the time of roses nigh | M |
