The Strong Hunter Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABB CCDD EEFF| There's a warrior hunting o'er prairie and hill | A |
| Who in sunshine or starlight is eager to kill | A |
| Who ne'er sleeps by his fire on the wild river's shore | B |
| Where the green cedars shake to the white rapids' roar | B |
| - | |
| Ever tireless and noiseless he knows not repose | C |
| Be the land filled with summer or lifeless with snows | C |
| But his strength gives him few he can count as his friends | D |
| Man and beast fly before him wherever he wends | D |
| - | |
| For he chases alike every form that has breath | E |
| And his darts must strike all for that hunter is Death | E |
| Lo a skeleton armed and his scalp lock yet streams | F |
| From this vision of fear of the Iroquois' dreams | F |
