Esse Et Posse Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCCBADEDEFGDDThe 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 |
