The Dream Of Those Days Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCC DDEE FFGG| The dream of those days when first I sung thee is o'er | A |
| Thy triumph hath stain'd the charm thy sorrows then wore | B |
| And even the light which Hope once shed o'er thy chains | C |
| Alas not a gleam to grace thy freedom remains | C |
| - | |
| Say is it that slavery sunk so deep in thy heart | D |
| That still the dark brand is there though chainless thou art | D |
| And Freedom's sweet fruit for which thy spirit long burn'd | E |
| Now reaching at last thy lip to ashes hath turn'd | E |
| - | |
| Up Liberty's steep by Truth and Eloquence led | F |
| With eyes on her temple fix'd how proud was thy tread | F |
| Ah better thou ne'er hadst lived that summit to gain | G |
| Denied in the porch than thus dishonour the fane | G |
