At The Tomb Of Napoleon Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBABCDBDC| I stood beside his sepulchre whose fame | A |
| Hurled over Europe once on bolt and blast | B |
| Now glows far off as storm clouds overpast | B |
| Glow in the sunset flushed with glorious flame | A |
| Has Nature marred his mould Can Art acclaim | A |
| No hero now no man with whom men side | B |
| As with their hearts' high needs personified | B |
| There are will say One such our lips could name | A |
| Columbia gave him birth Him Genius most | B |
| Gifted to rule Against the world's great man | C |
| Lift their low calumny and sneering cries | D |
| The Pharisaic multitude the host | B |
| Of piddling slanderers whose little eyes | D |
| Know not what greatness is and never can | C |
