The Land Of Fë¡l Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDEDFGHIJIf all must suffer equally and pay | A |
In equal share for that sin wrought by Eve | B |
O Thou if Thou wilt deign to answer say | A |
Why are the poor tormented why made grieve | B |
The innocent why are the free enslaved | C |
Why have the wicked peace tho' void of ruth | D |
Why are there none to pity when dismayed | E |
And sick with fear the lamb bleats to the tooth | D |
That tears him down why is the cry unheard | F |
Of lonely anguish why when the land of F l | G |
Had loved Thee long and well was she not spared | H |
The ruin that hath stamped her under all | I |
That mourn and die | J |
