Norumbega Hall Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBACDDCEFFEGG| Not on Penobscot's wooded bank the spires | A |
| Of the sought City rose nor yet beside | B |
| The winding Charles nor where the daily tide | B |
| Of Naumkeag's haven rises and retires | A |
| The vision tarried but somewhere we knew | C |
| The beautiful gates must open to our quest | D |
| Somewhere that marvellous City of the West | D |
| Would lift its towers and palace domes in view | C |
| And to at last its mystery is made known | E |
| Its only dwellers maidens fair and young | F |
| Its Princess such as England's Laureate sung | F |
| And safe from capture save by love alone | E |
| It lends its beauty to the lake's green shore | G |
| And Norumbega is a myth no more | G |
