The First Of June Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDEDFGFGCE| Peace and war are one in proof of England's deathless praise | A |
| One divine day saw her foemen scattered on the sea | B |
| Far and fast as storm could speed the same strong day of days | A |
| Sees the imperial commonweal set friends and foemen free | B |
| Save where freedom reigns whose name is England fraud and fear | C |
| Grind and blind the face of men who look on her and lie | D |
| Now may truth and pride in truth whose seat of old was here | E |
| See them shamed and stricken blind and dumb as worms that die | D |
| Even before our hallowed hawthorn blossom pass and cease | F |
| Even as England shines and smiles at last upon the sun | G |
| Pg Comes the word that means for England more than passing peace | F |
| Peace with honour peace with pride in righteous work well done | G |
| Crowned with flowers the first of all the world and all the year | C |
| Peace whose name is one with honour born of war is here | E |
