A Medley: Our Enemies Have Fall'n (the Princess) Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEFGHIJ FKLMN OPQRS TUVWXY| Our enemies have fall'n have fall'n the seed | A |
| The little seed they laugh'd at in the dark | B |
| Has risen and cleft the soil and grown a bulk | C |
| Of spanless girth that lays on every side | D |
| A thousand arms and rushes to the Sun | E |
| Our enemies have fall'n have fall'n they came | F |
| The leaves were wet with women's tears they heard | G |
| A noise of songs they would not understand | H |
| They mark'd it with the red cross to the fall | I |
| And would have strown it and are fall'n themselves | J |
| - | |
| Our enemies have fall'n have fall'n they came | F |
| The woodmen with their axes lo the tree | K |
| But we will make it faggots for the hearth | L |
| And shape it plank and beam for roof and floor | M |
| And boats and bridges for the use of men | N |
| - | |
| Our enemies have fall'n have fall'n they struck | O |
| With their own blows they hurt themselves nor knew | P |
| There dwelt an iron nature in the grain | Q |
| The glittering axe was broken in their arms | R |
| Their arms were shatter'd to the shoulder blade | S |
| - | |
| Our enemies have fall'n but this shall grow | T |
| A night of Summer from the heat a breadth | U |
| Of Autumn dropping fruits of power and roll'd | V |
| With music in the growing breeze of Time | W |
| The tops shall strike from star to star the fangs | X |
| Shall move the stony bases of the world | Y |
