Wapentake Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: A BCCBBCCBDEFDGF| To Alfred Tennyson | A |
| - | |
| Poet I come to touch thy lance with mine | B |
| Not as a knight who on the listed field | C |
| Of tourney touched his adversary's shield | C |
| In token of defiance but in sign | B |
| Of homage to the mastery which is thine | B |
| In English song nor will I keep concealed | C |
| And voiceless as a rivulet frost congealed | C |
| My admiration for thy verse divine | B |
| Not of the howling dervishes of song | D |
| Who craze the brain with their delirious dance | E |
| Art thou O sweet historian of the heart | F |
| Therefore to thee the laurel leaves belong | D |
| To thee our love and our allegiance | G |
| For thy allegiance to the poet's art | F |
Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
