To England Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBACDCDCD| Men deemed thee fallen did they fallen like Rome | A |
| Coiled into self to foil a Vandal throng | B |
| Not wholly shorn of strength but vainly strong | B |
| Weaned from thy fame by a too happy home | A |
| Scanning the ridges of thy teeming loam | A |
| Counting thy flocks humming thy harvest song | B |
| Callous because thyself secure 'gainst wrong | B |
| Behind the impassable fences of the foam | A |
| The dupes Thou dost but stand erect and lo | C |
| The nations cluster round and while the horde | D |
| Of wolfish backs slouch homeward to their snow | C |
| Thou 'mid thy sheaves in peaceful seasons stored | D |
| Towerest supreme victor without a blow | C |
| Smilingly leaning on thy undrawn sword | D |
