The Cape Of The Caba Rumia Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: A B A B C D C D E F E F G H G I J K J K L M N M| Sail on what power has our luckless bark | A |
| - | |
| To this ominous realm betrayed | B |
| - | |
| Where Cava's rock o'er the waters dark | A |
| - | |
| Points out where her bones are laid | B |
| - | |
| - | |
| Away away though tempests sweep | C |
| - | |
| And waves rage loud and high | D |
| - | |
| Brave all the terrors of the deep | C |
| - | |
| But come not that haven nigh | D |
| - | |
| The spirit of the fatal fair | E |
| - | |
| Hovers dimly over her grave | F |
| - | |
| - | |
| 'Tis her voice that rings through the troubled air | E |
| - | |
| 'Tis her moan that awakes the wave | F |
| - | |
| - | |
| Oh dearly the sons of Spain can tell | G |
| - | |
| The woes that her beauty cost | H |
| - | |
| When Roderick won by that witching spell | G |
| - | |
| Fame honour and country lost | I |
| - | |
| And ever her name is an evil sound | J |
| - | |
| And her memory hated shall be | K |
| - | |
| And woe and dangers that bark surround | J |
| - | |
| That Cava's rock shall see | K |
| - | |
| Then hasten on for some happier shore | L |
| - | |
| Nor that Cape still linger near | M |
| - | |
| That the Spaniard true and the infidel Moor | N |
| - | |
| Alike avoid with fear | M |
