Lines To A Lady, On Hearing Her Sing Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABAC DEDE DFGC| Yes heaven protect thee thou gem of the ocean | A |
| Dear land of my sires though distant thy shores | B |
| Ere my heart cease to love thee its latest emotion | A |
| The last dying throbs of its pulse must be o'er | C |
| - | |
| And dark were the bosom and cold and unfeeling | D |
| That tamely could listen unmoved at the call | E |
| When woman the warm soul of melody stealing | D |
| Laments for her country and sighs o'er its fall | E |
| - | |
| Sing on gentle warbler the tear drop appearing | D |
| Shall fall for the woes of the queen of the sea | F |
| And the spirit that breathes in the harp of green Erin | G |
| Descending shall hail thee her Cushlamachree | C |
