Montenegro Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBACDECDE| They rose to where their sovran eagle sails | A |
| They kept their faith their freedom on the height | B |
| Chaste frugal savage arm'd by day and night | B |
| Against the Turk whose inroad nowhere scales | A |
| Their headlong passes but his footstep fails | A |
| And red with blood the Crescent reels from fight | B |
| Before their dauntless hundreds in prone flight | B |
| By thousands down the crags and thro' the vales | A |
| O smallest among peoples rough rock throne | C |
| Of Freedom warriors beating back the swarm | D |
| Of Turkish Islam for five hundred years | E |
| Great Tsernogora never since thine own | C |
| Black ridges drew the cloud and brake the storm | D |
| Has breathed a race of mightier mountaineers | E |
