Show-day At Battle Abbey, 1876 Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBACDEFDE| A garden here May breath and bloom of spring | A |
| The cuckoo yonder from an English elm | B |
| Crying 'with my false egg I overwhelm | B |
| The native nest ' and fancy hears the ring | A |
| Of harness and that deathful arrow sing | A |
| And Saxon battleaxe clang on Norman helm | B |
| Here rose the dragon banner of our realm | B |
| Here fought here fell our Norman slander'd king | A |
| O Garden blossoming out of English blood | C |
| O strange hate healer Time We stroll and stare | D |
| Where might made right eight hundred years ago | E |
| Might right ay good so all things make for good | F |
| But he and he if soul be soul are where | D |
| Each stands full face with all he did below | E |
Alfred Lord Tennyson
