The Silent Slain Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABAABCDCDADA| We too we too descending once again | A |
| The hills of our own land we too have heard | B |
| Far off Ah que ce cor a longue haleine | A |
| The horn of Roland in the passages of Spain | A |
| the first the second blast the failing third | B |
| And with the third turned back and climbed once more | C |
| The steep road southward and heard faint the sound | D |
| Of swords of horses the disastrous war | C |
| And crossed the dark defile at last and found | D |
| At Roncevaux upon the darkening plain | A |
| The dead against the dead and on the silent ground | D |
| The silent slain | A |
