New Year's Day Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBACDECDF| New Year be good to England Bid her name | A |
| Shine sunlike as of old on all the sea | B |
| Make strong her soul set all her spirit free | B |
| Bind fast her homeborn foes with links of shame | A |
| More strong than iron and more keen than flame | A |
| Seal up their lips for shame's sake so shall she | B |
| Who was the light that lightened freedom be | B |
| For all false tongues in all men's eyes the same | A |
| O last born child of Time earth's eldest lord | C |
| God undiscrowned of godhead who for man | D |
| Begets all good and evil things that live | E |
| Do thou his new begotten son implored | C |
| Of hearts that hope and fear not make thy span | D |
| Bright with such light as history bids thee give | F |
