The Too-late Born Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABAABCDCDADAWe 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 |
