Ashore At Dover Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBCADDAEFGHFI| On landing the first voice one hears is from | A |
| An English police constable a man | B |
| Respectful conscious that at need he can | B |
| Enforce respect Our custom house at home | C |
| Strict too but quiet Not the foul mouthed scum | A |
| Of passport mongers who in Paris still | D |
| Preserve the Reign of Terror not the till | D |
| Where the King haggles all through Belgium | A |
| The country somehow seems in earnest here | E |
| Grave and sufficient England so to speak | F |
| No other word will make the thing as clear | G |
| Ah habit you exclaim and prejudice | H |
| If so so be it One don't care to shriek | F |
| Sir this shall be But one believes it is | I |
