As Vanquished Erin Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCD EBFBGHIH JBKBLBMB| As vanquished Erin wept beside | A |
| The Boyne's ill fated river | B |
| She saw where Discord in the tide | A |
| Had dropt his loaded quiver | B |
| Lie hid she cried ye venomed darts | C |
| Where mortal eye may shun you | D |
| Lie hid the stain of manly hearts | C |
| That bled for me is on you | D |
| - | |
| But vain her wish her weeping vain | E |
| As Time too well hath taught her | B |
| Each year the Fiend returns again | F |
| And dives into that water | B |
| And brings triumphant from beneath | G |
| His shafts of desolation | H |
| And sends them winged with worse than death | I |
| Through all her maddening nation | H |
| - | |
| Alas for her who sits and mourns | J |
| Even now beside that river | B |
| Unwearied still the Fiend returns | K |
| And stored is still his quiver | B |
| When will this end ye Powers of Good | L |
| She weeping asks for ever | B |
| But only hears from out that flood | M |
| The Demon answer Never | B |
