Xiv. On A Distant View Of England. Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBACDDCEFFGHH| AH 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 |
