England, Awake! Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBA CDECDE| A beautiful great lady past her prime | A |
| Behold her dreaming in her easy chair | B |
| Gray robed and veiled in laces old and rare | B |
| Her smiling eyes see but the vanished time | A |
| Of splendid prowess and of deeds sublime | A |
| Self satisfied she sits all unaware | B |
| That peace has flown before encroaching care | B |
| And through her halls stalks hunger linked with crime | A |
| - | |
| England awake from dreams of what has been | C |
| Look on what IS and put the past away | D |
| Speak to your sons until they understand | E |
| England awake for dreaming now is sin | C |
| In all your ancient wisdom rise to day | D |
| And save the glory of your menaced land | E |
