The Gift Outright Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEFGHIJKLMNNOThe land was ours before we were the land's | A |
She was our land more than a hundred years | B |
Before we were her people She was ours | C |
In Massachusetts in Virginia | D |
But we were England's still colonials | E |
Possessing what we still were unpossessed by | F |
Possessed by what we now no more possessed | G |
Something we were withholding made us weak | H |
Until we found out that it was ourselves | I |
We were withholding from our land of living | J |
And forthwith found salvation in surrender | K |
Such as we were we gave ourselves outright | L |
The deed of gift was many deeds of war | M |
To the land vaguely realizing westward | N |
But still unstoried artless unenhanced | N |
Such as she was such as she would become | O |
