In The Valley Of The Waters Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AAAA BBBB CCCC| In the valley of the waters we wept o'er the day | A |
| When the host of the stranger made Salem his prey | A |
| And our heads on our bosoms all droopingly lay | A |
| And our hearts were so full of the land far away | A |
| - | |
| The song they demanded in vain it lay still | B |
| In our souls as the wind that died on the hill | B |
| They called for the harp but our blood they shall spill | B |
| Ere our right hand shall teach them one tone of our skill | B |
| - | |
| All stringlessly hung on the willow's sad tree | C |
| As dead as her dead leaf those mute harps must be | C |
| Our hands may be fetter'd our tears still are free | C |
| For our God and our glory and Sion Oh thee | C |
George Gordon Byron
