Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRST UVWMXOver his millions Death has lawful power | A |
But over thee brave D'Ossoli none none | B |
After a longer struggle in a fight | C |
Worthy of Italy to youth restor'd | D |
Thou far from home art sunk beneath the surge | E |
Of the Atlantic on its shore in reach | F |
Of help in trust of refuge sunk with all | G |
Precious on earth to thee a child a wife | H |
Proud as thou wert of her America | I |
Is prouder showing to her sons how high | J |
Swells woman's courage in a virtuous breast | K |
She would not leave behind her those she lov'd | L |
Such solitary safety might become | M |
Others not her not her who stood beside | N |
The pallet of the wounded when the worst | O |
Of France and Perfidy assail'd the walls | P |
Of unsuspicious Rome Rest glorious soul | Q |
Renown'd for strength of genius Margaret | R |
Rest with the twain too dear My words are few | S |
And shortly none will hear my failing voice | T |
But the same language with more full appeal | U |
Shall hail thee Many are the sons of song | V |
Whom thou hast heard upon thy native plains | W |
Worthy to sing of thee the hour is come | M |
Take we our seats and let the dirge begin | X |
