Hail, Zaragoza! If With Unwet Eye Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: ABBAACCDEDEDDD

HAIL Zaragoza If with unwet eyeA
We can approach thy sorrow to beholdB
Yet is the heart not pitiless nor coldB
Such spectacle demands not tear or sighA
These desolate remains are trophies highA
Of more than martial courage in the breastC
Of peaceful civic virtue they attestC
Thy matchless worth to all posterityD
Blood flowed before thy sight without remorseE
Disease consumed thy vitals War upheavedD
The ground beneath thee with volcanic forceE
Dread trials yet encountered and sustainedD
Till not a wreck of help or hope remainedD
And law was from necessity receivedD

William Wordsworth
