For Frank Gardiner Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCD EFEFGHGI JAJAKLKL| It is not in a prison drear | A |
| Where all around is gloom | B |
| That I would end life's wild career | A |
| And sink into the tomb | B |
| For though my spirit's ever bold | C |
| Each tyrant to defy | D |
| Still still within a dungeon cold | C |
| I could not calmly die | D |
| - | |
| It is not that my cheek would pale | E |
| Within a lonely cell | F |
| It is not that my heart would quail | E |
| To bid this world farewell | F |
| For if oppressed by tyrant foe | G |
| I'd freely be the first | H |
| To give my life and strike the blow | G |
| To lay him in the dust | I |
| - | |
| But place me in a forest glen | J |
| Unfettered wild and free | A |
| Wtih fifty tried and chosen men | J |
| A bandit chief to be | A |
| 'Tis there when fighting with my foes | K |
| Amid my trusty band | L |
| I'd freely leave this world of woes | K |
| And die with sword in hand | L |
