Belgium Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBA CDCCCC| The Blatant Beast saw meadows made for peace | A |
| Sunlit and gently asway and held them light | B |
| Till each green blade grew rigid in the night | B |
| And ruddied with a glorious morn's increase | A |
| Thou hast suffered nor till Freedom find release | A |
| And set for ever on the shining height | B |
| The eternal rolling banner of her might | B |
| Shall thy great gift of strife and suffering cease | A |
| - | |
| We bred of one small island in the west | C |
| A little shrine of Freedom far away | D |
| We who can bow at no strong tyrant's hest | C |
| Bend low our heads in pride to thee to day | C |
| For all unknown a smiling babe at rest | C |
| Within thy lowly manger Freedom lay | C |
