Embarcation (southampton Docks: October, 1899) Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: ABBA ACCADEED FF

Here where Vespasian's legions struck the sandsA
And Cerdic with his Saxons entered inB
And Henry's army leapt afloat to winB
Convincing triumphs over neighbour landsA
-
Vaster battalions press for further strandsA
To argue in the self same bloody modeC
Which this late age of thought and pact and codeC
Still fails to mend Now deckward tramp the bandsA
Yellow as autumn leaves alive as springD
And as each host draws out upon the seaE
Beyond which lies the tragical To beE
None dubious of the cause none murmuringD
-
Wives sisters parents wave white hands and smileF
As if they knew not that they weep the whileF
