The Soldier Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCDEFGFHH| He was not armed like those of eastern clime | A |
| Whose heavy axes felled their heathen foe | B |
| Nor was he clad like those of later time | A |
| Whose breast worn cross betrayed no cross below | B |
| Nor was he of the tribe of Levi born | C |
| Whose pompous rites proclaim how vain their prayer | D |
| Whose chilling words are heard at night and morn | C |
| Who rend their robes but still their hearts would spare | D |
| But he nor steel nor sacred robe had on | E |
| Yet went he forth in God's almighty power | F |
| He spoke the word whose will is ever done | G |
| From day's first dawn till earth's remotest hour | F |
| And mountains melted from his presence down | H |
| And hell affrighted fled before his frown | H |
