On An Invitation To The United States. Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCBBDBE FGFGGHGH| My ardours for emprize nigh lost | A |
| Since Life has bared its bones to me | B |
| I shrink to seek a modern coast | C |
| Whose riper times have yet to be | B |
| Where the new regions claim them free | B |
| From that long drip of human tears | D |
| Which peoples old in tragedy | B |
| Have left upon the centuried years | E |
| - | |
| For wonning in these ancient lands | F |
| Enchased and lettered as a tomb | G |
| And scored with prints of perished hands | F |
| And chronicled with dates of doom | G |
| Though my own Being bear no bloom | G |
| I trace the lives such scenes enshrine | H |
| Give past exemplars present room | G |
| And their experience count as mine | H |
