On The Belgian Expatriation Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBB BBBB CDC CDC E| I dreamt that people from the Land of Chimes | A |
| Arrived one autumn morning with their bells | B |
| To hoist them on the towers and citadels | B |
| Of my own country that the musical rhymes | B |
| - | |
| Rung by them into space at meted times | B |
| Amid the market's daily stir and stress | B |
| And the night's empty star lit silentness | B |
| Might solace souls of this and kindred climes | B |
| - | |
| Then I awoke and lo before me stood | C |
| The visioned ones but pale and full of fear | D |
| From Bruges they came and Antwerp and Ostend | C |
| - | |
| No carillons in their train Foes of mad mood | C |
| Had shattered these to shards amid the gear | D |
| Of ravaged roof and smouldering gable end | C |
