Newport Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: ABCAACDAEFGEFH

ON these brown rocks the waves dissolve in sprayA
As when our fathers saw them first aleeB
If such a one could come again and seeC
This ancient haven in its latter dayA
These haughty palaces and gardens gayA
These dense soft lawns bedecked by many a treeC
Borne like a gem from Ind or ArabyD
If he could see the race he bred at playA
Bright like a flock of tropic birds alluredE
To pause a moment on their southward wingF
By these warm sands and by these summer seasG
Would he not cry 'Alas have I enduredE
Exile and famine hate and sufferingF
To win religious liberty for these 'H
