Rhyme Scheme: A BCBCCDCDD BBBBBEBEE| Excerpt from Gertrude Of Wyoming | A |
| - | |
| - | |
| Delightful Wyoming beneath thy skies | B |
| The happy shepherd swains had nought to do | C |
| But feed their flocks on green declivities | B |
| Or skim perchance thy lake with light canoe | C |
| From morn till evening's sweeter pastime grew | C |
| With timbrel when beneath the forests brown | D |
| Thy lovely maidens would the dance renew | C |
| And aye those sunny mountains half way down | D |
| Would echo flagelet from some romantic town | D |
| - | |
| Then where of Indian hills the daylight takes | B |
| His leave how might you the flamingo see | B |
| Disporting like a meteor on the lakes | B |
| And playful squirrel on his nut grown tree | B |
| And every sound of life was full of glee | B |
| From merry mock bird's song or hum of men | E |
| While hearkening fearing nought their revelry | B |
| The wild deer arched his neck from glades and then | E |
| Unhunted sought his woods and wilderness again | E |
