To Milton Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBACDDCCD| Milton I think thy spirit hath passed away | A |
| From these white cliffs and high embattled towers | B |
| This gorgeous fiery coloured world of ours | B |
| Seems fallen into ashes dull and grey | A |
| And the age changed unto a mimic play | A |
| Wherein we waste our else too crowded hours | B |
| For all our pomp and pageantry and powers | B |
| We are but fit to delve the common clay | A |
| Seeing this little isle on which we stand | C |
| This England this sea lion of the sea | D |
| By ignorant demagogues is held in fee | D |
| Who love her not Dear God is this the land | C |
| Which bare a triple empire in her hand | C |
| When Cromwell spake the word Democracy | D |
