The Power Of Armies Is A Visible Thing Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBACDDCCDThe power of Armies is a visible thing | A |
Formal and circumscribed in time and space | B |
But who the limits of that power shall trace | B |
Which a brave People into light can bring | A |
Or hide at will for freedom combating | A |
By just revenge inflamed No foot may chase | B |
No eye can follow to a fatal place | B |
That power that spirit whether on the wing | A |
Like the strong wind or sleeping like the wind | C |
Within its awful caves From year to year | D |
Springs this indigenous produce far and near | D |
No craft this subtle element can bind | C |
Rising like water from the soil to find | C |
In every nook a lip that it may cheer | D |
