Sonnet To Liberty Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBCCCCCCCDECC| Not that I love thy children whose dull eyes | A |
| See nothing save their own unlovely woe | B |
| Whose minds know nothing nothing care to know | B |
| But that the roar of thy Democracies | C |
| Thy reigns of Terror thy great Anarchies | C |
| Mirror my wildest passions like the sea | C |
| And give my rage a brother Liberty | C |
| For this sake only do thy dissonant cries | C |
| Delight my discreet soul else might all kings | C |
| By bloody knout or treacherous cannonades | C |
| Rob nations of their rights inviolate | D |
| And I remain unmoved and yet and yet | E |
| These Christs that die upon the barricades | C |
| God knows it I am with them in some things | C |
