Eagles - Composed At Dunollie Castle In The Bay Of Oban Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBACBBADEFEGGDishonoured Rock and Ruin that by law | A |
Tyrannic keep the Bird of Jove embarred | B |
Like a lone criminal whose life is spared | B |
Vexed is he and screams loud The last I saw | A |
Was on the wing stooping he struck with awe | C |
Man bird and beast then with a consort paired | B |
From a bold headland their loved aery's guard | B |
Flew high above Atlantic waves to draw | A |
Light from the fountain of the setting sun | D |
Such was this Prisoner once and when his plumes | E |
The sea blast ruffles as the storm comes on | F |
Then for a moment he in spirit resumes | E |
His rank 'mong freeborn creatures that live free | G |
His power his beauty and his majesty | G |
