A Sonnet Of Battle Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBACDECED| RELUCTANT Morn whose meagre radiance lies | A |
| With doubtful glimmer on the farthest hills | B |
| How long shall men reiterant of their ills | B |
| With peevish invocation bid thee rise | A |
| To burn to noontide glory in the skies | A |
| That now a gloom perplexed and starless fills | B |
| And seek from thee and not their own strong wills | B |
| That perfect good which is not bought with sighs | A |
| Why weep and wait for thee though laggard Morn | C |
| With all thy joys of love and peace and light | D |
| For us the mightier joy that rives the soul | E |
| When slaves no longer to a day unborn | C |
| Our flag of war along the dark we unroll | E |
| For fell encounter with the hosts of Night | D |
