The Oak Of Guernica Supposed Address To The Same Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAACCACDDEECOAK of Guernica Tree of holier power | A |
Than that which in Dodona did enshrine | B |
So faith too fondly deemed a voice divine | B |
Heard from the depths of its aerial bower | A |
How canst thou flourish at this blighting hour | A |
What hope what joy can sunshine bring to thee | C |
Or the soft breezes from the Atlantic sea | C |
The dews of morn or April's tender shower | A |
Stroke merciful and welcome would that be | C |
Which should extend thy branches on the ground | D |
If never more within their shady round | D |
Those lofty minded Lawgivers shall meet | E |
Peasant and lord in their appointed seat | E |
Guardians of Biscay's ancient liberty | C |
