On The Castle Of Chillon Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAACDAEFEFEF| Eternal Spirit of the chainless Mind | A |
| Brightest in dungeons Liberty thou art | B |
| For there thy habitation is the heart | B |
| The heart which love of thee alone can bind | A |
| And when thy sons to fetters are consigned | A |
| To fetters and the damp vault's dayless gloom | C |
| Their country conquers with their martyrdom | D |
| And Freedom's fame finds wings on every wind | A |
| Chillon thy prison is a holy place | E |
| And thy sad floor and altar for 'twas trod | F |
| Until his very steps have left a trace | E |
| Worn as if thy cold pavement were a sod | F |
| By Bonnivard May none those marks efface | E |
| For they appeal from tyranny to God | F |
