Song Of Innisfail Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCD EFEFAAAA DGDGAHAH| They came from a land beyond the sea | A |
| And now o'er the western main | B |
| Set sail in their good ships gallantly | A |
| From the sunny land of Spain | B |
| Oh where's the isle we've seen in dreams | C |
| Our destined home or grave | D |
| Thus sung they as by the morning's beams | C |
| They swept the Atlantic wave | D |
| - | |
| And lo where afar o'er ocean shines | E |
| A sparkle of radiant green | F |
| As though in that deep lay emerald mines | E |
| Whose light through the wave was seen | F |
| 'Tis Innisfail 'tis Innisfail | A |
| Rings o'er the echoing sea | A |
| While bending to heaven the warriors hail | A |
| That home of the brave and free | A |
| - | |
| Then turn'd they unto the Eastern wave | D |
| Where now their Day God's eye | G |
| A look of such sunny omen gave | D |
| As lighted up sea and sky | G |
| Nor frown was seen through sky or sea | A |
| Nor tear o'er leaf or sod | H |
| When first on their Isle of Destiny | A |
| Our great forefathers trod | H |
