A Dream Of England Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBAACACACI had a dream of England Wild and weird | A |
The billows ravened round her and the wrack | B |
Darkening and dwindling blotted out the track | B |
Then flashed on her a bolt that scorched and seared | A |
She writhing in her ruin rolled and reared | A |
Then headlonged unto doom that drove her back | B |
To welter on the waters blind and black | B |
A homeless hulk a derelict unsteered | A |
Wailing I woke and through the dawn descried | A |
Throned on the waves that threatened to o'erwhelm | C |
The England of my dream resplendent ride | A |
And armoured Wisdom sovran at the helm | C |
Through foaming furrows of the future guide | A |
To wider empire a majestic Realm | C |
