The Martial Courage Of A Day Is Vain Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBACCCCCC| THE martial courage of a day is vain | A |
| An empty noise of death the battle's roar | B |
| If vital hope be wanting to restore | B |
| Or fortitude be wanting to sustain | A |
| Armies or kingdoms We have heard a strain | A |
| Of triumph how the labouring Danube bore | B |
| A weight of hostile corses drenched with gore | B |
| Were the wide fields the hamlets heaped with slain | A |
| Yet see the mighty tumult overpast | C |
| Austria a daughter of her Throne hath sold | C |
| And her Tyrolean Champion we behold | C |
| Murdered like one ashore by shipwreck cast | C |
| Murdered without relief Oh blind as bold | C |
| To think that such assurance can stand fast | C |
William Wordsworth
