Oh! Had We Some Bright Little Isle Of Our Own Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABBCDCDEF GGHHIBIBJJ| Oh had we some bright little isle of our own | A |
| In a blue summer ocean far off and alone | A |
| Where a leaf never dies in the still blooming bowers | B |
| And the bee banquets on through a whole year of flowers | B |
| Where the sun loves to pause | C |
| With so fond a delay | D |
| That the night only draws | C |
| A thin veil o'er the day | D |
| Where simply to feel that we breathe that we live | E |
| Is worth the best joy that life elsewhere can give | F |
| - | |
| There with souls ever ardent and pure as the clime | G |
| We should love as they loved in the first golden time | G |
| The glow of the sunshine the balm of the air | H |
| Would steal to our hearts and make all summer there | H |
| With affection as free | I |
| From decline as the bowers | B |
| And with hope like the bee | I |
| Living always on flowers | B |
| Our life should resemble a long day of light | J |
| And our death come on holy and calm as the night | J |
