Magni Nominnus Umbra Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBA ABBA CDECDE| St Andrews not for ever thine shall be | A |
| Merely the shadow of a mighty name | B |
| The remnant only of an ancient fame | B |
| Which time has crumbled as thy rocks the sea | A |
| - | |
| For thou to whom was given the earliest key | A |
| Of knowledge in this land and all men came | B |
| To learn of thee shalt once more rise and claim | B |
| The glory that of right belongs to thee | A |
| - | |
| Grey in thine age there yet in thee abides | C |
| The force of youth to make thyself anew | D |
| A name of honour and a place of power | E |
| Arise then shake the dust from off thy sides | C |
| Thou shalt have many where thou now hast few | D |
| Again thou shalt be great Quick come the hour | E |
