From Pocahontas Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABBCD EEBBFGHIJJReturning from the cruel fight | A |
How pale and faint appears my knight | A |
He sees me anxious at his side | B |
'Why seek my love your wounds to hide | B |
Or deem your English girl afraid | C |
To emulate the Indian maid ' | D |
- | |
Be mine my husband's grief to cheer | E |
In peril to be ever near | E |
Whate'er of ill or woe betide | B |
To bear it clinging at his side | B |
The poisoned stroke of fate to ward | F |
His bosom with my own to guard | G |
Ah could it spare a pang to his | H |
It could not know a purer bliss | I |
'Twould gladden as it felt the smart | J |
And thank the hand that flung the dart | J |
