Lost Liberty Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBA ABBA CDECDE| Of our own will we are not free | A |
| When freedom lies within our power | B |
| We wait for some decisive hour | B |
| To rise and take our liberty | A |
| - | |
| Still we delay content to be | A |
| Imprisoned in our own high tower | B |
| What is it but a strong built bower | B |
| Ours are the warders ours the key | A |
| - | |
| But we through indolence grow weak | C |
| Our warders fed with power so long | D |
| Become at last our lords indeed | E |
| We vainly threaten vainly seek | C |
| To move their ruth The bars are strong | D |
| We dash against them till we bleed | E |
