The German Fleet Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBA CDEFDE| Lie down and let the billows hide your shame | A |
| Oh shorn and naked outcast of the seas | B |
| You who confided to each ocean breeze | B |
| Your coming conquests and made loud acclaim | A |
| Of your own grandeur and exalted fame | A |
| You who have catered to they world's disease | B |
| You who have drunk hate's wine and found the lees | B |
| Lie down and let all men forget your name | A |
| - | |
| You dreamed of world dominion you the spawn | C |
| Of hell and hatred Foe to all things free | D |
| Sworn enemy to honour truth and right | E |
| Too poor a thing now for the Devil's pawn | F |
| Let the large mercy of the outraged sea | D |
| Engulf and hide you evermore from sight | E |
