Embarcation (southampton Docks: October, 1899) Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBA ACCADEED FF| Here 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 |
