Our Heritage Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCDEFEFGHGHIJIK| This is our heritage the far flung grass | A |
| The golden stubble and the dark red moor | B |
| Men pass and perish as the swift years pass | A |
| But wide and wind swept still the fields endure | B |
| This is our heritage the love of sport | C |
| A fair ambition and a friendly strife | D |
| The rivalry of farm and camp and court | C |
| The keen endeavour of a clean hard life | D |
| The hoofs of horses on the trampled lea | E |
| The crash and rattle of the broken rail | F |
| Where the first flight ride reckless knee to knee | E |
| And bold men face the dangers of the vale | F |
| The cry of hounds the holloa and the horn | G |
| The lean red shadows where the foxes run | H |
| To these and all their challenge we were born | G |
| And these we leave behind us sire to son | H |
| This is the heritage that none can take | I |
| The gift we hold the gift we give again | J |
| And this the spirit that no Time can break | I |
| So long as England and her fields remain | K |
