The Republic Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABBACCDEEDFFGGHHIIJ BI| Thou too sail on O Ship of State | A |
| Sail on O Union strong and great | A |
| Humanity with all its fears | B |
| With all the hopes of future years | B |
| Is hanging breathless on the fate | A |
| We know what Master laid the keel | C |
| What Workmen wrought thy ribs of steel | C |
| Who made each mast and sail and rope | D |
| What anvils rang what hammers beat | E |
| In what forge and what a heat | E |
| Were shaped the anchors of thy hope | D |
| Fear not each sudden sound and shock | F |
| 'Tis of the wave and not the rock | F |
| 'Tis but the flapping of the sail | G |
| And not a rent made by the gale | G |
| In spite of rock and tempest's roar | H |
| In spite of false lights on the shore | H |
| Sail on nor fear to breast the sea | I |
| Our hearts our hopes are all with thee | I |
| Our hearts our hopes our prayers our tears | J |
| Our faith triumphant o'er our fears | B |
| Are all with thee are all with thee | I |
Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
