Austrian Alliance Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBCCDEEDFGAFF| Doth this hand live Trust not a royal coat | A |
| My country Smite that cheek there is no stain | B |
| But of the clay no flush of shame or pain | B |
| This is the smell o' the grave Lift the gold crown | C |
| And see that brow Lo how the dews drip down | C |
| The empty house The worm is on the walls | D |
| And the half shuttered lights are dull and dead | E |
| With dusty desecration The soul fled | E |
| On a spring day within thy palace halls | D |
| Hapsburg and all the days of all the springs | F |
| Of all the ages bring it not again | G |
| Vampyre we wrench thee from the breathing throat | A |
| Of living Man and he leaps up and flings | F |
| Thy rotten carcase at the heads of Kings | F |
