Address To Albion Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABAC DEDE FGHI JHJH KLKL MNMN GJIJ DODO| To thee O Albion be the tribute paid | A |
| Which sympathy demands the patriot tear | B |
| While echo'd forth to thy remotest shade | A |
| Rebellion's menace sounds in every ear | C |
| - | |
| Though Gallia's vaunts should fill the trembling skies | D |
| 'Till nature's undiscover'd regions start | E |
| At the rude clamor yet shouldst thou despise | D |
| While thy brave subjects own a common heart | E |
| - | |
| But lo fresh streaming from the Hibernian height | F |
| Her own red torrent wild eyed faction pours | G |
| While 'mid her falling ranks ignobly great | H |
| Loud vengeance raves and desperation scours | I |
| - | |
| Denouncing murderous strife the rebel train | J |
| Wave their red ensigns of inhuman hate | H |
| O'er every hamlet every peaceful plain | J |
| Rejecting reason and despising fate | H |
| - | |
| Oh that again our raptur'd eyes could see | K |
| Their ripening crops bloom yellow o'er the land | L |
| Their happy shepherds like their pasture free | K |
| No more a factious race a ruffian band | L |
| - | |
| That albion once again with concord blest | M |
| May still support that great that glorious name | N |
| Which ardent glows in every patriot's breast | M |
| And crowns her hoary cliffs with matchless fame | N |
| - | |
| Then then might foreign foes around our shores | G |
| Pour the big tempest of their arms in vain | J |
| Then might they learn that freedom still is ours | I |
| That Britons still control the subject main | J |
| - | |
| Oh all ye kindred pow'rs awake arise | D |
| On boundless glory's giant pinions soar | O |
| Let Gallia tremble while the sounding skies | D |
| Proclaim us free 'till time shall be no more | O |
