The Volunteer Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: ABAB CDCD AEAE

He leapt to arms unbiddenA
Unneeded over boldB
His face by earth is hiddenA
His heart in earth is coldB
-
Curse on the reckless daringC
That could not wait the callD
The proud fantastic bearingC
That would be first to fallD
-
O tears of human passionA
Blur not the image trueE
This was not folly's fashionA
This was the man we knewE

Henry John Newbolt, Sir
