To Our President Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCAABBADEFEDF| HOPE of the Nations lift thy stricken heart | A |
| Thyself art Sorrow and to thee the cry | B |
| Of battle anguish comes more piercingly | C |
| Than even in those months of sneer and smart | A |
| When thou so steadfastly didst bear thy part | A |
| True Champion of Peace And now when high | B |
| The war storm rages when horne's darlings die | B |
| By mangled thousands lift thy stricken heart | A |
| For a white shield of mercy torch that throws | D |
| Its reconciling gleam across the seas | E |
| O thou in love and grief pre eminent | F |
| Divine shall be thy comfort to appease | E |
| These bleeding Christian armies sudden foes | D |
| That slaughter in a fierce astonishment | F |
