The Eagle And The Dove Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABAB CDCD DEDE FDFD| SHADE of Caractacus if spirits love | A |
| The cause they fought for in their earthly home | B |
| To see the Eagle ruffled by the Dove | A |
| May soothe thy memory of the chains of Rome | B |
| - | |
| These children claim thee for their sire the breath | C |
| Of thy renown from Cambrian mountains fans | D |
| A flame within them that despises death | C |
| And glorifies the truant youth of Vannes | D |
| - | |
| With thy own scorn of tyrants they advance | D |
| But truth divine has sanctified their rage | E |
| A silver cross enchased with flowers of France | D |
| Their badge attests the holy fight they wage | E |
| - | |
| The shrill defiance of the young crusade | F |
| Their veteran foes mock as an idle noise | D |
| But unto Faith and Loyalty comes aid | F |
| From Heaven gigantic force to beardless boys | D |
