England And Her Colonies Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABBBBBB CDCDBEBBE| SHE stands a thousand wintered tree | A |
| By countless morns impearled | B |
| Her broad roots coil beneath the sea | A |
| Her branches sweep the world | B |
| Her seeds by careless winds conveyed | B |
| Clothe the remotest strand | B |
| With forests from her scatterings made | B |
| New nations fostered in her shade | B |
| And linking land with land | B |
| - | |
| O ye by wandering tempest sown | C |
| Neath every alien star | D |
| Forget not whence the breath was blown | C |
| That wafted you afar | D |
| For ye are still her ancient seed | B |
| On younger soil let fall | E |
| Children of Britain s island breed | B |
| To whom the Mother in her need | B |
| Perchance may one day call | E |
