    Lochinvar" is a balled with eight six line stanzas. The lines are in iambic tetrameter and are arranged in heroic couplets, three couplets per stanza. While the last couplet in each stanza always share the same rhyme and end with "Lochinvar," there appears to be no other organized rhyme scheme across the stanzas. Within the stanzas there is a consistent use of aabbccdd. The language used in the poem is primarily heroic and dealing with battle. For example, four of the eight couplets that end in "Lochinvar" also end in the word "war." In addition to this Lochinvar's descriptions include words like "dauntless" (line 5), "a gallant" (10), "bold' (13), "stately" (31), "daring" (47), and "a galliard," a man of courage and sprit (32). This heroic language is interesting because while there is challenge in the poem there is no battle or direct conflict.
