Sunrise Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABAB CACA ADAD EFGH AAAA IJIJ JKJK| Foul times there are when nations spiritless | A |
| Throw honour away | B |
| For tinsel glory to base happiness | A |
| A mournful prey | B |
| - | |
| Then from the nations fain of lustful rest | C |
| Dull slavery's dreams | A |
| All virtue ebbs as from a sponge tight prest | C |
| Clear water streams | A |
| - | |
| Then men to vice and folly docile slaves | A |
| Aye lowly inclined | D |
| Ape the vile fearful reed that stoops and waves | A |
| For every wind | D |
| - | |
| Then feasts and kisses naught that saith the soul | E |
| Stirs shame or dread | F |
| One drinks one eats one sings one skips is foul | G |
| And comforted | H |
| - | |
| Crime ministered to by loathsome lackeys reigns | A |
| Yea 'neath God's fires | A |
| Laughs and ye shiver sombre dread remains | A |
| Of glorious sires | A |
| - | |
| All life seems foul with vice intoxicate | I |
| Aye thus to be | J |
| Sudden a clarion unto all winds elate | I |
| Peals liberty | J |
| - | |
| And the dull world whose soul this blast doth smite | J |
| Is like to one | K |
| Drunken all night up staggering 'neath the light | J |
| O' the risen sun | K |
