Sublime Was The Warning Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABCCDDB EEBFFGGB HHBIIJKB LLBMMNNB| Sublime was the warning that liberty spoke | A |
| And grand was the moment when Spaniards awoke | A |
| Into life and revenge from the conqueror's chain | B |
| Oh Liberty let not this spirit have rest | C |
| Till it move like a breeze o'er the waves of the west | C |
| Give the light of your look to each sorrowing spot | D |
| Nor oh be the Shamrock of Erin forgot | D |
| While you add to your garland the Olive of Spain | B |
| - | |
| If the fame of our fathers bequeathed with their rights | E |
| Give to country its charm and to home its delights | E |
| If deceit be a wound and suspicion a stain | B |
| Then ye men of Iberia our cause is the same | F |
| And oh may his tomb want a tear and a name | F |
| Who would ask for a nobler a holier death | G |
| Than to turn his last sigh into victory's breath | G |
| For the Shamrock of Erin and the Olive of Spain | B |
| - | |
| Ye Blakes and O'Donnels whose fathers resign'd | H |
| The green hills of their youth among strangers to find | H |
| That repose which at home they had sigh'd for in vain | B |
| Join join in our hope that the flame which you light | I |
| May be felt yet in Erin as calm and as bright | I |
| And forgive even Albion while blushing she draws | J |
| Like a truant her sword in the long slighted cause | K |
| Of the Shamrock of Erin and Olive of Spain | B |
| - | |
| God prosper the cause oh it cannot but thrive | L |
| While the pulse of one patriot heart is alive | L |
| Its devotion to feel and its rights to maintain | B |
| Then how sainted by sorrow its martyrs will die | M |
| The finger of Glory shall point where they lie | M |
| While far from the footstep of coward or slave | N |
| The young spirit of Freedom shall shelter their grave | N |
| Beneath Shamrocks of Erin and Olives of Spain | B |
