In The Habour: Victor And Vanquished Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBACDCDCDAs one who long hath fled with panting breath | A |
Before his foe bleeding and near to fall | B |
I turn and set my back against the wall | B |
And look thee in the face triumphant Death | A |
I call for aid and no one answereth | A |
I am alone with thee who conquerest all | B |
Yet me thy threatening form doth not appall | B |
For thou art but a phantom and a wraith | A |
Wounded and weak sword broken at the hilt | C |
With armor shattered and without a shield | D |
I stand unmoved do with me what thou wilt | C |
I can resist no more but will not yield | D |
This is no tournament where cowards tilt | C |
The vanquished here is victor of the field | D |
Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
