John Heki Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABBAABCDEDDC| Should Switzerland s rude rocks be held the throne | A |
| Of freedom sanctioned there by God to quell | B |
| All proud invaders Gessler like o erthrown | A |
| Because the echoes in their caves that dwell | B |
| Once leaped exultant at the shout of Tell | B |
| And thine New Zealand yet be left unknown | A |
| To glory now that thy dark chief hath sown | A |
| Broad over them a like memorial spell | B |
| Should Wallace be a word time ne er may lose | C |
| And Hofer he who for his mountains died | D |
| Rather than see the spoiler there abuse | E |
| Freedom s rock alter Be a sound of pride | D |
| Yet Heki s name remain unglorified | D |
| In the grand lore of the heroic muse | C |
