A Huguenot Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABCCB DDEDDE FFGGGG| Oh a gallant set were they | A |
| As they charged on us that day | A |
| A thousand riding like one | B |
| Their trumpets crying | C |
| And their white plumes flying | C |
| And their sabres flashing in the sun | B |
| - | |
| Oh a sorry lot were we | D |
| As we stood beside the sea | D |
| Each man for himself as he stood | E |
| We were scattered and lonely | D |
| A little force only | D |
| Of the good men fighting for the good | E |
| - | |
| But I never loved more | F |
| On sea or on shore | F |
| The ringing of my own true blade | G |
| Like lightening it quivered | G |
| And the hand helms shivered | G |
| As I sang None maketh me afraid | G |
