Rhyme Scheme: A BCCBBCCBDEFDGF

To Alfred TennysonA
-
Poet I come to touch thy lance with mineB
Not as a knight who on the listed fieldC
Of tourney touched his adversary's shieldC
In token of defiance but in signB
Of homage to the mastery which is thineB
In English song nor will I keep concealedC
And voiceless as a rivulet frost congealedC
My admiration for thy verse divineB
Not of the howling dervishes of songD
Who craze the brain with their delirious danceE
Art thou O sweet historian of the heartF
Therefore to thee the laurel leaves belongD
To thee our love and our allegianceG
For thy allegiance to the poet's artF

Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
