Niagara's Rainbow Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCC DEDEFF CGCGHH GIGIJJ KDKDLL| Upon the table rock I stand | A |
| And gaze into the depths profound | B |
| In ecstacy at sights so grand | A |
| And deafened by the sound | B |
| Of rushing waters as they leap | C |
| Like maddened steeds down hillside steep | C |
| - | |
| The falling spray my head bedews | D |
| As gently as a vernal shower | E |
| Or as the Holy Ghost imbues | D |
| In consecrated hour | E |
| The soul that inly yearns for love | F |
| And seeks it from the throne above | F |
| - | |
| But I see more than chasm deep | C |
| Than falling spray and rushing tide | G |
| Sublime indeed the awful leap | C |
| The awe will long abide | G |
| God's rainbow hangs in colors bright | H |
| A thing of beauty in my sight | H |
| - | |
| Our cousins on the other side | G |
| And we too often disagree | I |
| Puffed up I fear at times with pride | G |
| Each strong and brave and free | I |
| But we forget the stormy past | J |
| Our lands and hearts are linked at last | J |
| - | |
| The Union Jack hangs o'er my head | K |
| The Stars and Stripes my cousin rears | D |
| But old time grievances are dead | K |
| For all the coming years | D |
| As separate flags they still may wave | L |
| But we are one the world to save | L |
