To Russia Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: ABBACDEE FGGFHHEE IJJIHHEE

Who tamed your lawless Tartar bloodA
What David bearded in her denB
The Russian bear in ages whenB
You strode your black unbridled studA
A skin clad savage of your steppesC
Why one who now sits low and weepsD
Why one who now wails out to youE
The Jew the Jew the homeless JewE
-
Who girt the thews of your young primeF
And bound your fierce divided forceG
Why who but Moses shaped your courseG
United down the grooves of timeF
Your mighty millions all to dayH
The hated homeless Jew obeyH
Who taught all poetry to youE
The Jew the Jew the hated JewE
-
Who taught you tender Bible talesI
Of honey lands of milk and wineJ
Of happy peaceful PalestineJ
Of Jordan's holy harvest valesI
Who gave the patient Christ I sayH
Who gave your Christian creed Yea yeaH
Who gave your very God to youE
Your Jew Your Jew Your hated JewE
