The British Gyp Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCBDBDB EFGFHIJI KLMLNINI| That luscious lip the British Gyp | A |
| I leave to rove a reckless ranger | B |
| To seek a life with War for wife | C |
| Defying Death despising danger | B |
| Yet while I speed from field to field | D |
| Enamored of the stranger's daughter | B |
| I know the best that earth can yield | D |
| Are nested by the British water | B |
| - | |
| Her lithe blithe form outbraves the storm | E |
| That spreads disaster in its shadow | F |
| And when it clears her form appears | G |
| A flower upon the greening meadow | F |
| And if for fame you'll have me name | H |
| The land of most bewitching daughters | I |
| My heart replies with softening sighs | J |
| The land begirt by British waters | I |
| - | |
| Her starry eye lets arrows fly | K |
| That pierce the ice of arctic reason | L |
| The kiss that thrills the glance that kills | M |
| Make wild the wise and laugh at Treason | L |
| And when a soldier on parade | N |
| Beyond the bourne of British waters | I |
| My eyes are on the stranger maid | N |
| My heart is with the English daughters | I |
