On A Distant View Of England Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBACDDCEFFGHHAh from my eyes the tears unbidden start | A |
Albion as now thy cliffs that bright appear | B |
Far o'er the wave and their proud summits rear | B |
To meet the beams of morn my beating heart | A |
With eager hope and filial transport hails | C |
Scenes of my youth reviving gales ye bring | D |
As when ere while the tuneful morn of spring | D |
Joyous awoke amid your blooming vales | C |
And fill'd with fragrance every breathing plain | E |
Fled are those hours and all the joys they gave | F |
Yet still I sigh and count each rising wave | F |
That bears me nearer to your shores again | G |
If haply 'mid the woods and vales so fair | H |
Stranger to Peace I yet may meet her there | H |
