Say Not The Struggle Nought Availeth Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABAB CDCD EBEB FGFG| Say not the struggle nought availeth | A |
| The labour and the wounds are vain | B |
| The enemy faints not nor faileth | A |
| And as things have been things remain | B |
| - | |
| If hopes were dupes fears may be liars | C |
| It may be in yon smoke conceal'd | D |
| Your comrades chase e'en now the fliers | C |
| And but for you possess the field | D |
| - | |
| For while the tired waves vainly breaking | E |
| Seem here no painful inch to gain | B |
| Far back through creeks and inlets making | E |
| Comes silent flooding in the main | B |
| - | |
| And not by eastern windows only | F |
| When daylight comes comes in the light | G |
| In front the sun climbs slow how slowly | F |
| But westward look the land is bright | G |
