Oddfellowship In Woodstock Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABBCCAADEFFGGHHIIAA JIKKWell tell a tale it shall be brief | A |
It is of rise of Maple Leaf | A |
From noble Olive Branch it sprung | B |
And its good deeds shall yet be sung | B |
This Encampment though in its youth | C |
Glories in friendship love and truth | C |
Of all our lodges yet the chief | A |
May be this youthful Maple Leaf | A |
Built of good timber it doth launch | D |
Well worthy of the Olive Branch | E |
And though it only is a shoot | F |
We hope that it will take deep root | F |
And soon be vigorous Maple tree | G |
In Canada so broad and free | G |
And may its usefulness ne'er cease | H |
Sprung from the Olive Branch of peace | H |
But comfort brothers in distress | I |
Widows and orphans it will bless | I |
And console them in their grief | A |
Protected by the Maple Leaf | A |
Poor travellers in the wilderness | J |
They oft do suffer great distress | I |
But may no pilgrim get rude shock | K |
Sojourning here in Woodstock | K |
