After The German Subjugation Of France, 1871 Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAACCADEFDFF| LO the twelfth year the wedding feast come round | A |
| With years for months and lo the babe new born | B |
| Out of the womb's rank furnace cast forlorn | B |
| And with contagious effluence seamed and crown'd | A |
| To hail this birth what fiery tongues surround | A |
| Hell's Pentecost what clamour of all cries | C |
| That swell from Absalom's scoff to Shimei's | C |
| One scornful gamut of tumultuous sound | A |
| For now the harlot's heart on a new sleeve | D |
| Is prankt and her heart's lord of yesterday | E |
| Spurned from her bed whose worm spun silks o'erlay | F |
| Such fretwork as that other worm can weave | D |
| Takes in his ears the vanished world's last yell | F |
| And in his flesh the closing teeth of Hell | F |
