Sonnet To The White-bird Of The Tropic Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBACDCDCD| BIRD of the Tropic thou who lov'st to stray | A |
| Where thy long pinions sweep the sultry Line | B |
| Or mark'st the bounds which torrid beams confine | B |
| By thy averted course that shuns the ray | A |
| Oblique enamour'd of sublimer day | A |
| Oft on yon cliff thy folded plumes recline | B |
| And drop those snowy feathers Indians twine | B |
| To crown the warrior's brow with honours gay | A |
| O'er trackless oceans what impels thy wing | C |
| Does no soft instinct in thy soul prevail | D |
| No sweet affection to thy bosom cling | C |
| And bid thee oft thy absent nest bewail | D |
| Yet thou again to that dear spot canst spring | C |
| But I no more my long lost home shall hail | D |
