In The Pass Of Killicranky Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCAADDAEFEFEF| SIX thousand veterans practised in war's game | A |
| Tried men at Killicranky were arrayed | B |
| Against an equal host that wore the plaid | C |
| Shepherds and herdsmen Like a whirlwind came | A |
| The Highlanders the slaughter spread like flame | A |
| And Garry thundering down his mountain road | D |
| Was stopped and could not breathe beneath the load | D |
| Of the dead bodies 'Twas a day of shame | A |
| For them whom precept and the pedantry | E |
| Of cold mechanic battle do enslave | F |
| O for a single hour of that Dundee | E |
| Who on that day the word of onset gave | F |
| Like conquest would the Men of England see | E |
| And her Foes find a like inglorious grave | F |
