Feelings Of A Noble Biscayan At One Of Those Funerals Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAACCADEFGHI| Yet yet Biscayans we must meet our Foes | A |
| With firmer soul yet labour to regain | B |
| Our ancient freedom else 'twere worse than vain | B |
| To gather round the bier these festal shows | A |
| A garland fashioned of the pure white rose | A |
| Becomes not one whose father is a slave | C |
| Oh bear the infant covered to his grave | C |
| These venerable mountains now enclose | A |
| A people sunk in apathy and fear | D |
| If this endure farewell for us all good | E |
| The awful light of heavenly innocence | F |
| Will fail to illuminate the infant's bier | G |
| And guilt and shame from which is no defense | H |
| Descend on all that issues from our blood | I |
