Oh, Soon Return Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCDABAB EFEFGEGEHBIB| Our white sail caught the evening ray | A |
| The wave beneath us seemed to burn | B |
| When all the weeping maid could say | A |
| Was Oh soon return | B |
| Thro' many a clime our ship was driven | C |
| O'er many a billow rudely thrown | D |
| Now chilled beneath a northern heaven | C |
| Now sunned in summer's zone | D |
| And still where'er we bent our way | A |
| When evening bid the west wave burn | B |
| I fancied still I heard her say | A |
| Oh soon return | B |
| - | |
| If ever yet my bosom found | E |
| Its thoughts one moment turned from thee | F |
| 'Twas when the combat raged around | E |
| And brave men looked to me | F |
| But tho' the war field's wild alarm | G |
| For gentle love was all unmeet | E |
| He lent to glory's brow the charm | G |
| Which made even danger sweet | E |
| And still when victory's calm came o'er | H |
| The hearts where rage had ceased to burn | B |
| Those parting words I heard once more | I |
| Oh soon return Oh soon return | B |
