Queen Henrietta Maria Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: A ABBCADDAEFGEHI

To Ellen TerryA
-
In the lone tent waiting for victoryA
She stands with eyes marred by the mists of painB
Like some wan lily overdrenched with rainB
The clamorous clang of arms the ensanguined skyC
War's ruin and the wreck of chivalryA
To her proud soul no common fear can bringD
Bravely she tarrieth for her Lord the KingD
Her soul a flame with passionate ecstasyA
O Hair of Gold O Crimson Lips O FaceE
Made for the luring and the love of manF
With thee I do forget the toil and stressG
The loveless road that knows no resting placeE
Time's straitened pulse the soul's dread wearinessH
My freedom and my life republicanI
