The Bulldog Breed Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABACAC DEDEFGFH AIAIJKJJ| 'It's dogged as does it ' They've made it a saying | A |
| A motto to hold in that tight little isle | B |
| To hold in their fighting and toiling and playing | A |
| And stick to the job with a tight little smile | B |
| As fortune seems bleakest they cut out complaining | A |
| They cut out the cackle and dig in their toes | C |
| As inch upon inch the lost ground they're regaining | A |
| And just how they manage it nobody knows | C |
| - | |
| 'It's dogged as does it ' There's something heroic | D |
| Unseen and unsung in this desperate drive | E |
| With mien of the meek and the mind of a stoic | D |
| They win their chief goal when they seem least alive | E |
| The nations behold yet can scarcely believe it | F |
| As Britain wins thro' to a triumph again | G |
| And wondering ask how those dullards achieve it | F |
| In that darkest hour when all effort seems vain | H |
| - | |
| 'Its dogged as does it ' No pause for regretting | A |
| For sighing or sobbing she seeks in the fray | I |
| But silently steadily all else forgetting | A |
| Stays on the job till the clouds clear away | I |
| Then rubbing its eyes in incredulous wander | J |
| The world scarce believes such a miracle true | K |
| As snatchin' for victory e'en from a blunder | J |
| The tight little island again muddles thro' | J |
