Gibraltar Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCBDEBEFBGFBG| Seven weeks of sea and twice seven days of storm | A |
| Upon the huge Atlantic and once more | B |
| We ride into still water and the calm | C |
| Of a sweet evening screen'd by either shore | B |
| Of Spain and Barbary Our toils are o'er | D |
| Our exile is accomplish'd Once again | E |
| We look on Europe mistress as of yore | B |
| Of the fair earth and of the hearts of men | E |
| Ay this is the famed rock which Hercules | F |
| And Goth and Moor bequeath'd us At this door | B |
| England stands sentry God to hear the shrill | G |
| Sweet treble of her fifes upon the breeze | F |
| And at the summons of the rock gun's roar | B |
| To see her red coats marching from the hill | G |
