Britannia'from Jules Lemaitre Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABAAB CCDEED| Thy mouth is fresh as cherries on the bough | A |
| Red cherries in the dawning and more white | B |
| Than milk or white camellias is thy brow | A |
| And as the golden corn thy hair is bright | B |
| The corn that drinks the Sun's less fair than thou | A |
| While through thine eyes the child soul gazeth now | A |
| Eyes like the flower that was Rousseau's delight | B |
| - | |
| Sister of sad Ophelia say shall these | C |
| Thy pearly teeth grow like piano keys | C |
| Yellow and long while thou all skin and bone | D |
| Angles and morals in a sky blue veil | E |
| Shalt hosts of children to the sermon hale | E |
| Blare hymns read chapters backbite and intone | D |
