Ireland Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABAC DEDE FGFG HIJI| I called you by sweet names by wood and linn | A |
| You answered not because my voice was new | B |
| And you were listening for the hounds of Finn | A |
| And the long hosts of Lugh | C |
| - | |
| And so I came unto a windy height | D |
| And cried my sorrow but you heard no wind | E |
| For you were listening to small ships in flight | D |
| And the wail on hills behind | E |
| - | |
| - | |
| And then I left you wandering the war | F |
| Armed with will from distant goal to goal | G |
| To find you at the last free as of yore | F |
| Or die to save your soul | G |
| - | |
| And then you called to us from far and near | H |
| To bring your crown from out the deeps of time | I |
| It is my grief your voice I couldn't hear | J |
| In such a distant clime | I |
