To The West Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABB AABB CCBB DDBB EEBB| The Midland Great Western is doing its best | A |
| And the circular ticket is safe in my vest | A |
| But I know that my holiday never begins | B |
| Till I'm in Connemara among the Twelve Pins | B |
| - | |
| The Bank has no fortune of mine to invest | A |
| But there's money enough for the ones I love best | A |
| All the gold that I want I shall find on the whins | B |
| When I'm in Connemara among the Twelve Pins | B |
| - | |
| Down by the Lough I shall wander once more' | C |
| Where the wavelets lap lap round the stones on the shore | C |
| And the mountainy goats will be wagging their chins | B |
| As they pull at the bracken among the Twelve Pins | B |
| - | |
| And its welcome I'll be for no longer I'll meet | D |
| The hard pallid faces I find in the street | D |
| The girl with blue eyes and the boy with brown shins | B |
| Will stand for their pictures among the twelve Pins | B |
| - | |
| Tonight when all London's with gaslight agleam | E |
| And the Carlton is filled with society's cream' | E |
| I'll be 'takin' me tay' down at ould Johnny Flynn's | B |
| Safe and away in the heart o' the Pins | B |
