To Horace Bumstead Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBBBBBB CBDCBD| Have you been sore discouraged in the fight | A |
| And even sometimes weighted by the thought | B |
| That those with whom and those for whom you fought | B |
| Lagged far behind or dared but faintly smite | B |
| And that the opposing forces in their might | B |
| Of blind inertia rendered as for naught | B |
| All that throughout the long years had been wrought | B |
| And powerless each blow for Truth and Right | B |
| - | |
| If so take new and greater courage then | C |
| And think no more withouten help you stand | B |
| For sure as God on His eternal throne | D |
| Sits mindful of the sinful deeds of men | C |
| The awful Sword of Justice in His hand | B |
| You shall not no you shall not fight alone | D |
