Euonymos - Sonnets Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCDABBAEEFGFH| A year ago red wrath and keen despair | A |
| Spake and the sole word from their darkness sent | B |
| Laid low the lord not all omnipotent | C |
| Who stood most like a god of all that were | D |
| As gods for pride of power till fire and air | A |
| Made earth of all his godhead Lightning rent | B |
| The heart of empire's lurid firmament | B |
| And laid the mortal core of manhood bare | A |
| But when the calm crowned head that all revere | E |
| For valour higher than that which casts out fear | E |
| Since fear came near it never comes near death | F |
| Blind murder cowers before it knowing that here | G |
| No braver soul drew bright and queenly breath | F |
| Since England wept upon Elizabeth | H |
