France Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBACDECDE| France fallen France arisen France of the brave | A |
| France of lost hopes France of Promethean zeal | B |
| Napoleon's France that bruised the despot's heel | B |
| Of Europe while the feudal world did rave | A |
| Thou France that didst burst through the rock bound grave | A |
| Which Germany and England joined to seal | B |
| And undismayed didst seek the human weal | B |
| Through which thou couldst thyself and others save | A |
| The wreath of amaranth and eternal praise | C |
| When every hand was 'gainst thee so was ours | D |
| Freedom remembers and I can forget | E |
| Great are we by the faith our past betrays | C |
| And noble now the great Republic flowers | D |
| Incarnate with the soul of Lafayette | E |
