Cuba Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCADEEAFGFGHH| Spake one upon the vessel's prow before | A |
| The sinking sun had kissed the glittering seas | B |
| 'Twas here Columbus with his Genoese | C |
| Steered his frail barks toward the unknown store | A |
| With hope unfaltering though all hope seemed o'er | D |
| Calm 'mid the mutineers the prophet mind | E |
| Saw the New World to which their eyes were blind | E |
| Heard on its continents the breakers' roar | A |
| Told of the golden promise of the main | F |
| While cursed his crew and called a madman's dream | G |
| The land his ashes only hold for Spain | F |
| It rose on dim horizon with the gleam | G |
| Of morn proclaiming to the kneeling throng | H |
| All treasures theirs because one heart was strong | H |
