To Thee, Old Cause! Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: AABCDDDD CEFCCGDHD

TO thee old CauseA
Thou peerless passionate good causeA
Thou stern remorseless sweet IdeaB
Deathless throughout the ages races landsC
After a strange sad war great war for theeD
I think all war through time was really fought and ever will beD
really fought for theeD
These chants for thee the eternal march of theeD
-
Thou orb of many orbsC
Thou seething principle Thou well kept latent germ Thou centreE
Around the idea of thee the strange sad war revolvingF
With all its angry and vehement play of causesC
With yet unknown results to come for thrice a thousand yearsC
These recitatives for thee my Book and the War are oneG
Merged in its spirit I and mine as the contest hinged on theeD
As a wheel on its axis turns this Book unwitting to itselfH
Around the Idea of theeD

Walt Whitman
