At Bologna, In Remembrance Of The Late Insurrections, 1837 - Iii - Concluded Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBAACCDCD| As leaves are to the tree whereon they grow | A |
| And wither every human generation | B |
| Is to the Being of a mighty nation | B |
| Locked in our world's embrace through weal and woe | A |
| Thought that should teach the zealot to forego | A |
| Rash schemes to abjure all selfish agitation | B |
| And seek through noiseless pains and moderation | B |
| The unblemished good they only can bestow | A |
| Alas with most who weigh futurity | A |
| Against time present passion holds the scales | C |
| Hence equal ignorance of both prevails | C |
| And nations sink or struggling to be free | D |
| Are doomed to flounder on like wounded whales | C |
| Tossed on the bosom of a stormy sea | D |
