Ireland-s Vengeance Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCDBEFEGHGHII| This is thy day thy day of all the years | A |
| Ireland The night of anger and mute gloom | B |
| Where thou didst sit has vanished with thy tears | C |
| Thou shalt no longer weep in thy lone home | D |
| The dead they slew for thee or nurse thy doom | B |
| Or fan the smoking flax of thy desire | E |
| Their hatred could not quench Thy hour is come | F |
| And these if they would reap must reap in fire | E |
| What shall thy vengeance be In that long night | G |
| Thou hast essayed thy wrath in many ways | H |
| Slaughter and havoc and Hell's deathless spite | G |
| They taught thee vengeance who thus schooled thy days | H |
| Taught all they knew but not this one divine | I |
| Vengeance to love them Be that vengeance thine | I |
