Indignation Of A High-minded Spaniard Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAACDAEFFEGG| WE can endure that He should waste our lands | A |
| Despoil our temples and by sword and flame | B |
| Return us to the dust from which we came | B |
| Such food a Tyrant's appetite demands | A |
| And we can brook the thought that by his hands | A |
| Spain may be overpowered and he possess | C |
| For his delight a solemn wilderness | D |
| Where all the brave lie dead But when of bands | A |
| Which he will break for us he dares to speak | E |
| Of benefits and of a future day | F |
| When our enlightened minds shall bless his sway | F |
| 'Then' the strained heart of fortitude proves weak | E |
| Our groans our blushes our pale cheeks declare | G |
| That he has power to inflict what we lack strength to bear | G |
