The Caique Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AAAA BBBB CCCC DDD BBB AA A| Yonder to the kiosk beside the creek | A |
| Paddle the swift caique | A |
| Thou brawny oarsman with the sunburnt cheek | A |
| Quick for it soothes my heart to hear the Bulbul speak | A |
| - | |
| Ferry me quickly to the Asian shores | B |
| Swift bending to your oars | B |
| Beneath the melancholy sycamores | B |
| Hark what a ravishing note the lovelorn Bulbul pours | B |
| - | |
| Behold the boughs seem quivering with delight | C |
| The stars themselves more bright | C |
| As mid the waving branches out of sight | C |
| The Lover of the Rose sits singing through the night | C |
| - | |
| Under the boughs I sat and listened still | D |
| I could not have my fill | D |
| 'How comes ' I said 'such music to his bill | D |
| Tell me for whom he sings so beautiful a trill ' | - |
| - | |
| 'Once I was dumb ' then did the Bird disclose | B |
| 'But looked upon the Rose | B |
| And in the garden where the loved one grows | B |
| I straightway did begin sweet music to compose ' | - |
| - | |
| 'O bird of song there's one in this caique | A |
| The Rose would also seek | A |
| So he might learn like you to love and speak ' | - |
| Then answered me the bird of dusky beak | A |
| 'The Rose the Rose of Love blushes on Leilah's cheek ' | - |
