On The Danger Of War Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBACBBADEDFEG| Avert High Wisdom never vainly wooed | A |
| This threat of War that shows a land brain sick | B |
| When nations gain the pitch where rhetoric | B |
| Seems reason they are ripe for cannon's food | A |
| Dark looms the issue though the cause be good | C |
| But with the doubt 'tis our old devil's trick | B |
| O now the down slope of the lunatic | B |
| Illumine lest we redden of that brood | A |
| For not since man in his first view of thee | D |
| Ascended to the heavens giving sign | E |
| Within him of deep sky and sounded sea | D |
| Did he unforfeiting thy laws transgress | F |
| In peril of his blood his ears incline | E |
| To drums whose loudness is their emptiness | G |
