Correct me if I'm wrong!!
The Assyr come down like a wolf on the fold,
And his cohorts were gleaming in purple and gold.
And the sheen of their spears was like stars on the sea,
When the blue wave rolls nightly on deep Galilee.
It would be aabb. Fold and gold are aa. Sea and Galilee are bb. You assign each rhyme to a letter.
You're wrong.
