In Time Of Wars And Tumults Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBA AAAA ACD ACD| Would that I'd not drawn breath here some one said | A |
| To stalk upon this stage of evil deeds | B |
| Where purposelessly month by month proceeds | B |
| A play so sorely shaped and blood bespread | A |
| - | |
| Yet had his spark not quickened but lain dead | A |
| To the gross spectacles of this our day | A |
| And never put on the proffered cloak of clay | A |
| He had but known not things now manifested | A |
| - | |
| Life would have swirled the same Morns would have dawned | A |
| On the uprooting by the night gun's stroke | C |
| Of what the yester noonshine brought to flower | D |
| - | |
| Brown martial brows in dying throes have wanned | A |
| Despite his absence hearts no fewer been broke | C |
| By Empery's insatiate lust of power | D |
