After The Verdict Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBABBCDCD| France cloven in twain by fire of hell and hate | A |
| Shamed with the shame of men her meanest born | B |
| Soldier and judge whose names inscribed for scorn | B |
| Stand vilest on the record writ of fate | A |
| Lies yet not wholly vile who stood so great | A |
| Sees yet not all her praise of old outworn | B |
| Not yet is all her scroll of glory torn | B |
| Or left for utter shame to desecrate | A |
| High souls and constant hearts of faithful men | B |
| Sustain her perfect praise with tongue and pen | B |
| Indomitable as honour Storms may toss | C |
| And soil her standard ere her bark win home | D |
| But shame falls full upon the Christless cross | C |
| Whose brandmark signs the holy hounds of Rome | D |
