Embarcation (southampton Docks: October, 1899) Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBA ACCADEED FFHere where Vespasian's legions struck the sands | A |
And Cerdic with his Saxons entered in | B |
And Henry's army leapt afloat to win | B |
Convincing triumphs over neighbour lands | A |
- | |
Vaster battalions press for further strands | A |
To argue in the self same bloody mode | C |
Which this late age of thought and pact and code | C |
Still fails to mend Now deckward tramp the bands | A |
Yellow as autumn leaves alive as spring | D |
And as each host draws out upon the sea | E |
Beyond which lies the tragical To be | E |
None dubious of the cause none murmuring | D |
- | |
Wives sisters parents wave white hands and smile | F |
As if they knew not that they weep the while | F |
