Lines - On The Camp Hill, Near Hastings Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABAB CDCD EFEG HIHI JKJK LMLM| In the deep blue of eve | A |
| Ere the twinkling of stars had begun | B |
| Or the lark took his leave | A |
| Of the skies and the sweet setting sun | B |
| - | |
| I climbed to yon heights | C |
| Where the Norman encamped him of old | D |
| With his bowmen and knights | C |
| And his banner all burnished with gold | D |
| - | |
| At the Conqueror's side | E |
| There his minstrelsy sat harp in hand | F |
| In pavilion wide | E |
| And they chaunted the deeds of Roland | G |
| - | |
| Still the ramparted ground | H |
| With a vision my fancy inspires | I |
| And I hear the trump sound | H |
| As it marshalled our Chivalry's sires | I |
| - | |
| On each turf of that mead | J |
| Stood the captors of England's domains | K |
| That ennobled her breed | J |
| And high mettled the blood of her veins | K |
| - | |
| Over hauberk and helm | L |
| As the sun's setting splendour was thrown | M |
| Thence they looked o'er a realm | L |
| And to morrow beheld it their own | M |
