Boston Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCAABBADEFDEF| St Botolph's Town Hither across the plains | A |
| And fens of Lincolnshire in garb austere | B |
| There came a Saxon monk and founded here | C |
| A Priory pillaged by marauding Danes | A |
| So that thereof no vestige now remains | A |
| Only a name that spoken loud and clear | B |
| And echoed in another hemisphere | B |
| Survives the sculptured walls and painted panes | A |
| St Botolph's Town Far over leagues of land | D |
| And leagues of sea looks forth its noble tower | E |
| And far around the chiming bells are heard | F |
| So may that sacred name forever stand | D |
| A landmark and a symbol of the power | E |
| That lies concentred in a single word | F |
