A Prayer For England Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBACDCDCD| Ah fair Lord God of Heaven to whom we call | A |
| By whom we live on whom our hopes are built | B |
| Do Thou from year to year e'en as Thou wilt | B |
| Control the Realm but suffer not to fall | A |
| Its ancient faith its grandeur and its thrall | A |
| Do Thou preserve it in the hours of guilt | B |
| When foemen thirst for blood that should be spilt | B |
| And keep it strong when traitors would appal | A |
| Uphold us still O God and be the screen | C |
| And sword and buckler of our England's might | D |
| That foemen's wiles and woes which intervene | C |
| May fade away as fades a winter's night | D |
| Thine ears have heard us and Thine eyes have seen | C |
| Wilt Thou not help us Lord to find the Light | D |
