How Sleep The Brave Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABBCC DDEEFFHow sleep the brave who sink to rest | A |
By all their country's wishes blest | A |
When Spring with dewy fingers cold | B |
Returns to deck their hallow'd mould | B |
She there shall dress a sweeter sod | C |
Than Fancy's feet have ever trod | C |
- | |
By fairy hands their knell is rung | D |
By forms unseen their dirge is sung | D |
There Honour comes a pilgrim grey | E |
To bless the turf that wraps their clay | E |
And Freedom shall awhile repair | F |
To dwell a weeping hermit there | F |
