To England At The Outbreak Of The Balkan War Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBCCBBCBDEBDE| A cloud has lowered that shall not soon pass o'er | A |
| The world takes sides whether for impious aims | B |
| With Tyranny whose bloody toll enflames | B |
| A generous people to heroic war | C |
| Whether with Freedom stretched in her own gore | C |
| Whose pleading hands and suppliant distress | B |
| Still offer hearts that thirst for Righteousness | B |
| A glorious cause to strike or perish for | C |
| England which side is thine Thou hast had sons | B |
| Would shrink not from the choice however grim | D |
| Were Justice trampled on and Courage downed | E |
| Which will they be cravens or champions | B |
| Oh if a doubt intrude remember him | D |
| Whose death made Missolonghi holy ground | E |
