Lament For Israel Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: ABAAB CDCCD EFEGF HIHHI

Where is thy home in thy promised landA
Desolate and forsakenB
The stranger's arm hath seized thy brandA
Thou art bowed beneath the stranger's handA
And the stranger thy birthright hath takenB
-
Where is the mark of thy chosen raceC
Infamous and degradedD
It hath fallen on thee on thy dwelling placeC
And that heaven stamped sign to a foul disgraceC
And the scoff of the world has fadedD
-
First born of nations upon thy browE
Resistless and revengingF
The fiery finger of God hath nowE
Written the sentence of thy woG
The innocent blood avengingF
-
Lion of Judah thy glory is pastH
Vanished and fled for everI
Homeless and scattered thy race is castH
Like chaff in the breath of the sweeping blastH
To rally or rise again neverI
