At The Close Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCAACCADEFDEFTo Thee dear God of Mercy both appeal | A |
Who straightway sound the call to arms Thou know'st | B |
And that black spot in each embattled host | C |
Spring of the blood stream later wilt reveal | A |
Now is it red artillery and white steel | A |
Till on a day will ring the victor's boast | C |
That 'tis Thy chosen towers uppermost | C |
Where Thy rejected grovels under heel | A |
So in all times of man's descent insane | D |
To brute did strength and craft combining strike | E |
Even as a God of Armies his fell blow | F |
But at the close he entered Thy domain | D |
Dear God of Mercy and if lion like | E |
He tore the fall'n the Eternal was his Foe | F |
