A Statesman Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABAABCBDEFEFFF| Captain be he my England who doth know | A |
| Not careful coasts with inland welcomes warm | B |
| But who with heart infallible can go | A |
| Straight to the gulf streams of the World where blow | A |
| The inevitable Winds Let cockles swarm | B |
| The sounded shores He helms Thee England who | C |
| Faced by the very Spirit of the Storm | B |
| Full at the phantom drives his dauntless prow | D |
| And tho' the Vision rend in racks of blood | E |
| And drip in thunder from his reeling spars | F |
| The compass in his hand beholds the flood | E |
| Beneath o'er head the everlasting stars | F |
| Dim thro' the gory ghost and calm in these | F |
| Thro' that tremendous dream sails on to happier seas | F |
