Song Of The Zeppelin Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDEDA AFAFGHIHA AJFJAAAAA K| I cleave the air through the murky night | A |
| High o'er the forests and sleeping towns | B |
| Below me drifts the shimmering light | A |
| A glorious fresco on vale and downs | B |
| My sea hath no billows nor rocky shores | C |
| And only the winds disturb my soul | D |
| I care not for those who slumber in death | E |
| For my bomb is bloody and death my goal | D |
| And all for the Vaterland | A |
| - | |
| Where the currents cross and the cruisers speed | A |
| I sail towards the North in a piteous sky | F |
| I hear the night wind's surging note | A |
| As it mingles its requiem with the widow's cry | F |
| Above me there streams a light from heaven | G |
| But I bow my head and veil my eyes | H |
| As I plough the fields with my fateful keel | I |
| And sow the highways with tears and sighs | H |
| And all for the Vaterland | A |
| - | |
| And hate is the banner I unfurl so wide | A |
| That its blood dripp'd folds may catch the breeze | J |
| That e'en from the balcony of heaven on high | F |
| May be seen this banner on all the seas | J |
| No triumph of arms is my flight by night | A |
| It is only a part of a murderous raid | A |
| Dropping a bomb on an innocent child | A |
| Or a crowing babe in its cradle laid | A |
| And all for the Vaterland | A |
| - | |
| For Thomas Walsh | K |
