Victoria Regina Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABAB CDCD EFGF| A thousand years by sea and land | A |
| Our race hath served the island kings | B |
| But not by custom's dull command | A |
| To day with song her Empire rings | B |
| - | |
| Not all the glories of her birth | C |
| Her armed renown and ancient throne | D |
| Could make her less the child of earth | C |
| Or give her hopes beyond our own | D |
| - | |
| But stayed on faith more sternly proved | E |
| And pride than ours more pure and deep | F |
| She loves the land our fathers loved | G |
| And keeps the fame our sons shall keep | F |
