The Massacre At Scio Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABAB CDCD EFEF AGAG| Weep not for Scio's children slain | A |
| Their blood by Turkish falchions shed | B |
| Sends not its cry to Heaven in vain | A |
| For vengeance on the murderer's head | B |
| - | |
| Though high the warm red torrent ran | C |
| Between the flames that lit the sky | D |
| Yet for each drop an armed man | C |
| Shall rise to free the land or die | D |
| - | |
| And for each corpse that in the sea | E |
| Was thrown to feast the scaly herds | F |
| A hundred of the foe shall be | E |
| A banquet for the mountain birds | F |
| - | |
| Stern rites and sad shall Greece ordain | A |
| To keep that day along her shore | G |
| Till the last link of slavery's chain | A |
| Is shivered to be worn no more | G |
