Pocahontas Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABAABB CDEDFGG| Her story sure was fashioned out above | A |
| Ere 't was enacted on the scene below | B |
| For 't was a very miracle of love | A |
| When from the savage hawk's nest came the dove | A |
| With wings of peace to stay the ordered blow | B |
| The hawk's plumes bloody but the dove's as snow | B |

| And here my heart oppressed by pleasant tears | C |
| Yields to a young girl's half angelic spell | D |
| Yes for that maiden like a Saint appears | E |
| She needs no fresco stone nor shrine to tell | D |
| Her story to the people of this Land | F |
| Saint of the Wilderness enthroned amid | G |
| The wooded Minster where the Pagan hid | G |
