Russell Gurney Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: ABBCDEBFGHIJHG

In that high country whither thou art goneA
Right noble friend thou walkest with thy peersB
The gathered great of many a hundred yearsB
Few are left like thee few I say not noneC
Else were thy England soon a BabylonD
A land of outcry mockery and tearsE
Higher than law a refuge from its fearsB
Wast thou in whom embodied Justice shoneF
The smile that gracious broke on thy grand faceG
Was like the sunrise of a morn sereneH
Among the mountains making sweet their aweI
Thou both the gentle and the strong didst drawJ
Thee childhood loved and on thy breast would leanH
As whence thou cam'st it knew the lofty placeG
