Sonnets Of The Empire: Hawk Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBACDECDE| Great sea dog fighter in the great old way | A |
| What though thy ships were tinder and the pest | B |
| Rotted thy ruffian crews that need had prest | B |
| And all thy keels were clogged with foul decay | A |
| Yet through the roaring months thy squadron lay | A |
| A watch dog eager at the throat of Brest | B |
| While all the ocean smote her from the West | B |
| And all the tempests tore her in their play | A |
| Thy soul was of the whirlwind and thy cry | C |
| Still leaps from out the crash of guns and waves | D |
| To hurl us headlong on the foeman s van | E |
| As in the Bay of Death mid breakers high | C |
| And felon reefs whereo er the Atlantic raves | D |
| Thy flagship foremost into glory ran | E |
