William Tell. [59] Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABABCC DEDFDEGG| When hostile elements with rage resound | A |
| And fury blindly fans war's lurid flame | B |
| When in the strife of party quarrel drowned | A |
| The voice of justice no regard can claim | B |
| When crime is free and impious hands are found | A |
| The sacred to pollute devoid of shame | B |
| And loose the anchor which the state maintains | C |
| No subject there we find for joyous strains | C |
| - | |
| But when a nation that its flocks still feeds | D |
| With calm content nor other's wealth desires | E |
| Throws off the cruel yoke 'neath which it bleeds | D |
| Yet e'en in wrath humanity admires | F |
| And e'en in triumph moderation heeds | D |
| That is immortal and our song requires | E |
| To show thee such an image now is mine | G |
| Thou knowest it well for all that's great is thine | G |
Friedrich Schiller
