Beautiful North Berwick Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABC DEFF GGHI JJKK AALL MMGG NNOO| North Berwick is a watering place with golfing links green | A |
| With a fine bathing beach most lovely to be seen | A |
| And there's a large number of handsome villas also | B |
| And often it's called the Scarborough of Scotland as Portobello | C |
| - | |
| The greatest attraction is Tantallon Castle worthy of regard | D |
| About three miles distant to the eastward | E |
| Which in time of war reoeived many a shock | F |
| And it's deemed impregnable and built on a perpendicular rock | F |
| - | |
| The castle was built in times unknown to history | G |
| But 'tis said it belonged to the Douglas family | G |
| And the inside is a labyrinth of broken staircases | H |
| Also ruined chambers and many dismal places | I |
| - | |
| Then there's the Berwick Law Hill feet high | J |
| Which no doubt is very attractive to the eye | J |
| And skirted with a wood and a public walk | K |
| Where visitors can enjoy themselves and have a social talk | K |
| - | |
| The wood is really lovely and enchanting to be seen | A |
| In the spring or summer season when the trees are green | A |
| And as ye listen to the innocent birds singing merrily there | L |
| 'Twill help to elevate your spirits and drive away dull care | L |
| - | |
| Then near by Tantallon is the fishing village of Canty Bay | M |
| Where boats can be hired to the Bass Rock about two miles away | M |
| And the surrounding scenery is magnificent to see | G |
| And as the tourists view the scene it fills their hearts with glee | G |
| - | |
| Then away then away pleasure seekers in bands | N |
| And view Gullane with its beautiful sands | N |
| Which stretch along the sandy shores of Fife | O |
| Where the tourist can enjoy himself and be free from strife | O |
