Anticipation, October 1803 Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBACDEECD| SHOUT for a mighty Victory is won | A |
| On British ground the Invaders are laid low | B |
| The breath of Heaven has drifted them like snow | B |
| And left them lying in the silent sun | A |
| Never to rise again the work is done | A |
| Come forth ye old men now in peaceful show | B |
| And greet your sons drums beat and trumpets blow | B |
| Make merry wives ye little children stun | A |
| Your grandame's ears with pleasure of your noise | C |
| Clap infants clap your hands Divine must be | D |
| That triumph when the very worst the pain | E |
| And even the prospect of our brethren slain | E |
| Hath something in it which the heart enjoys | C |
| In glory will they sleep and endless sanctity | D |
William Wordsworth
