Distant View Of England From The Sea Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBACDDCEFFGHH| Yes from mine eyes the tears unbidden start | A |
| As thee my country and the long lost sight | B |
| Of thy own cliffs that lift their summits white | B |
| Above the wave once more my beating heart | A |
| With eager hope and filial transport hails | C |
| Scenes of my youth reviving gales ye bring | D |
| As when erewhile the tuneful morn of spring | D |
| Joyous awoke amidst your hawthorn vales | C |
| And filled with fragrance every village lane | E |
| Fled are those hours and all the joys they gave | F |
| Yet still I gaze and count each rising wave | F |
| That bears me nearer to my home again | G |
| If haply 'mid those woods and vales so fair | H |
| Stranger to Peace I yet may meet her there | H |
