Tribute To Gladstone Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: ABAB C DE FGFG HIHI JKJK LMLM

Lift up your heads in life in deathA
God knoweth his head was highB
Quit we the coward's broken breathA
Who watched a strong man dieB
-
If ye must say 'No more his peerC
Cometh the flag is furled '-
Stand not too near him lest we hearD
That slander on the worldE
-
The good green earth he loved and trodF
Is still with many a scarG
Writ in the chronicles of GodF
A giant bearing starG
-
He fell but Britain's banner swingsH
Above his sunken crownI
Black Death shall have his toil of kingsH
Before the cross goes downI
-
O young ones of a darker dayJ
In Art's wan colours cladK
Whose very love and hate are greyJ
Whose very sin is sadK
-
Pass on one agony long drawnL
Was merrier than your mirthM
When hand in hand came death and dawnL
And spring was on the earthM
