The Channel Tunnel: Sonnets Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBABBBBBB| NOT for less love all glorious France to thee | A |
| Sweet enemy called in days long since at end | B |
| Now found and hailed of England sweeter friend | B |
| Bright sister of our freedom now being free | A |
| Not for less love or faith in friendship we | A |
| Whose love burnt ever toward thee reprehend | B |
| The vile vain greed whose pursy dreams portend | B |
| Between our shores suppression of the sea | A |
| Not by dull toil of blind mechanic art | B |
| Shall these be linked for no man s force to part | B |
| Nor length of years and changes to divide | B |
| But union only of trust and loving heart | B |
| And perfect faith in freedom strong to abide | B |
| And spirit at one with spirit on either side | B |
