The Returned Volunteer To His Rifle Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: ABACDDEDD

Over the hearth my father's seatA
Repose to patriot memory dearB
Thou tried companion whom at last I greetA
By steepy banks of Hudson hereC
How oft I told thee of this sceneD
The Highlands blue the river's narrowing sheenD
Little at Gettysburg we thoughtE
To find such haven but God kept it greenD
Long rest with belt and bayonet and canteenD

Herman Melville
