Kossuth Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDEFGHGHIIAJKLLM MAMNONONN| Type of two mighty continents combining | A |
| The strength of Europe with the warmth and glow | B |
| Of Asian song and prophecy the shining | A |
| Of Orient splendors over Northern snow | B |
| Who shall receive him Who unblushing speak | C |
| Welcome to him who while he strove to break | D |
| The Austrian yoke from Magyar necks smote off | E |
| At the same blow the fetters of the serf | F |
| Rearing the altar of his Fatherland | G |
| On the firm base of freedom and thereby | H |
| Lifting to Heaven a patriot's stainless hand | G |
| Mocked not the God of Justice with a lie | H |
| Who shall be Freedom's mouthpiece Who shall give | I |
| Her welcoming cheer to the great fugitive | I |
| Not he who all her sacred trusts betraying | A |
| Is scourging back to slavery's hell of pain | J |
| The swarthy Kossuths of our land again | K |
| Not he whose utterance now from lips designed | L |
| The bugle march of Liberty to wind | L |
| And call her hosts beneath the breaking light | M |
| The keen reveille of her morn of fight | M |
| Is but the hoarse note of the blood hound's baying | A |
| The wolf's long howl behind the bondman's flight | M |
| Oh for the tongue of him who lies at rest | N |
| In Quincy's shade of patrimonial trees | O |
| Last of the Puritan tribunes and the best | N |
| To lend a voice to Freedom's sympathies | O |
| And hail the coming of the noblest guest | N |
| The Old World's wrong has given the New World of the West | N |
