Liberty. - A Fragment. Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCDDCEFFEGHIJ| Thee Caledonia thy wild heaths among | A |
| Thee fam'd for martial deed and sacred song | B |
| To thee I turn with swimming eyes | C |
| Where is that soul of freedom fled | D |
| Immingled with the mighty dead | D |
| Beneath the hallow'd turf where Wallace lies | C |
| Hear it not Wallace in thy bed of death | E |
| Ye babbling winds in silence sweep | F |
| Disturb not ye the hero's sleep | F |
| Nor give the coward secret breath | E |
| Is this the power in freedom's war | G |
| That wont to bid the battle rage | H |
| Behold that eye which shot immortal hate | I |
| Crushing the despot's proudest bearing | J |
