The Bird, Let Loose. (air.--beethoven.) Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCD EFEFDG DG| The bird let loose in eastern skies | A |
| When hastening fondly home | B |
| Ne'er stoops to earth her wing nor flies | A |
| Where idle warblers roam | B |
| But high she shoots thro' air and light | C |
| Above all low delay | D |
| Where nothing earthly bounds her flight | C |
| Nor shadow dims her way | D |
| - | |
| So grant me GOD from every care | E |
| And stain of passion free | F |
| Aloft thro' Virtue's purer air | E |
| To hold my course to Thee | F |
| No sin to cloud no lure to stay | D |
| My Soul as home she springs | G |
| - | |
| Thy Sunshine on her joyful way | D |
| Thy Freedom in her wings | G |
