England Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBACDEFDE| While men pay reverence to mighty things | A |
| They must revere thee thou blue cinctured isle | B |
| Of England not to day but this long while | B |
| In front of nations Mother of great kings | A |
| Soldiers and poets Round thee the sea flings | A |
| His steel bright arm and shields thee from the guile | B |
| And hurt of France Secure with august smile | B |
| Thou sittest and the East its tribute brings | A |
| Some say thy old time power is on the wane | C |
| Thy moon of grandeur filled contracts at length | D |
| They see it darkening down from less to less | E |
| Let but a hostile hand make threat again | F |
| And they shall see thee in thy ancient strength | D |
| Each iron sinew quivering lioness | E |
