The Mission Of The Bard Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABABBACDCDDC| He is a seer He wears the wedding ring | A |
| Of Art and Nature and his voice is bold | B |
| He should be quicker than the birds to sing | A |
| And fill'd with frenzy like the men of old | B |
| Who sang their songs for country and for king | A |
| Nothing should daunt him though the news were told | B |
| By fiends from Hell He should be swift to hold | B |
| And swift to part with truth as from a spring | A |
| He should discourse of war and war's alarm | C |
| And deeds of peace and garlands to be sought | D |
| And love and lore and death and beauty's charm | C |
| And warlike men subdued by tender thought | D |
| And grief dismiss'd and hatred set at nought | D |
| And Freedom shielded by his strong right arm | C |
