Rhyme Scheme: A BCDCEE FGFGEE HIJIEE| Tennyson | A |
| - | |
| Time and its ally Dark Disarmament | B |
| Have compassed me about | C |
| Have massed their armies and on battle bent | D |
| My forces put to rout | C |
| But though I fight alone and fall and die | E |
| Talk terms of Peace Not I | E |
| - | |
| They war upon my fortress and their guns | F |
| Are shattering its walls | G |
| My army plays the cowards' part and runs | F |
| Pierced by a thousand balls | G |
| They call for my surrender I reply | E |
| Give quarter now Not I | E |
| - | |
| They've shot my flag to ribbons but in rents | H |
| It floats above the height | I |
| Their ensign shall not crown my battlements | J |
| While I can stand and fight | I |
| I fling defiance at them as I cry | E |
| Capitulate Not I | E |
