After The Battle Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCACA DEDEFGFG| Night closed around the conqueror's way | A |
| And lightnings show'd the distant hill | B |
| Where those who lost that dreadful day | A |
| Stood few and faint but fearless still | B |
| The soldier's hope the patriot's zeal | C |
| For ever dimm'd for ever crost | A |
| Oh who shall say what heroes feel | C |
| When all but life and honour's lost | A |
| - | |
| The last sad hour of freedom's dream | D |
| And valour's task moved slowly by | E |
| While mute they watch'd till morning's beam | D |
| Should rise and give them light to die | E |
| There's yet a world where souls are free | F |
| Where tyrants taint not nature's bliss | G |
| If death that world's bright opening be | F |
| Oh who would live a slave in this | G |
