Hail, Zaragoza! If With Unwet Eye Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAACCDEDEDDDHAIL Zaragoza If with unwet eye | A |
We can approach thy sorrow to behold | B |
Yet is the heart not pitiless nor cold | B |
Such spectacle demands not tear or sigh | A |
These desolate remains are trophies high | A |
Of more than martial courage in the breast | C |
Of peaceful civic virtue they attest | C |
Thy matchless worth to all posterity | D |
Blood flowed before thy sight without remorse | E |
Disease consumed thy vitals War upheaved | D |
The ground beneath thee with volcanic force | E |
Dread trials yet encountered and sustained | D |
Till not a wreck of help or hope remained | D |
And law was from necessity received | D |
William Wordsworth
