Esse Et Posse Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCCBADEDEFGDD| The groan of fallen Hosts a torrid glare | A |
| Of cities battle cries of Right and Wrong | B |
| Where armies shout to rocking fleets that roar | C |
| On thundering oceans to the thundering shore | C |
| And high o'er all long long prolonged along | B |
| The moaning caverns of the plaining air | A |
| The cry of conscious Fate The firmament | D |
| Waves from above me like a tattered flag | E |
| And as a soldier in his lowly tent | D |
| Looks up when a shot strikes the helpless rag | E |
| From o'er him and beholds the canopy | F |
| Of Heaven so sudden to my startled eye | G |
| The Heavens that shall be The dream fades I stand | D |
| Among the mourners of a mourning land | D |
