And He Said, Fight On Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: ABCBDDE FGFGD HIJID

Time and its ally Dark DisarmamentA
Have compassed me aboutB
Have massed their armies and on battle bentC
My forces put to routB
But though I fight alone and fall and dieD
Talk terms of Peace Not ID
TennysonE
-
They war upon my fortress and their gunsF
Are shattering its wallsG
My army plays the cowards' part and runsF
Pierced by a thousand ballsG
They call for my surrender I replyD
'Give quarter now Not I '-
-
They've shot my flag to ribbons but in rentsH
It floats above the heightI
Their ensign shall not crown my battlementsJ
While I can stand and fightI
I fling defiance at them as I cryD
'Capitulate Not I '-
