Occasioned By The Battle Of Waterloo February 1816 Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAACDAEFGEFGINTREPID sons of Albion not by you | A |
Is life despised ah no the spacious earth | B |
Ne'er saw a race who held by right of birth | B |
So many objects to which love is due | A |
Ye slight not life to God and Nature true | A |
But death becoming death is dearer far | C |
When duty bids you bleed in open war | D |
Hence hath your prowess quelled that impious crew | A |
Heroes for instant sacrifice prepared | E |
Yet filled with ardour and on triumph bent | F |
'Mid direst shocks of mortal accident | G |
To you who fell and you whom slaughter spared | E |
To guard the fallen and consummate the event | F |
Your Country rears this sacred Monument | G |
William Wordsworth
