Composed By The Sea-side, Near Calais, August 1802 Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBAACADCE| FAIR Star of evening Splendour of the west | A |
| Star of my Country on the horizon's brink | B |
| Thou hangest stooping as might seem to sink | B |
| On England's bosom yet well pleased to rest | A |
| Meanwhile and be to her a glorious crest | A |
| Conspicuous to the Nations Thou I think | B |
| Should'st be my Country's emblem and should'st wink | B |
| Bright Star with laughter on her banners drest | A |
| In thy fresh beauty There that dusky spot | A |
| Beneath thee that is England there she lies | C |
| Blessings be on you both one hope one lot | A |
| One life one glory I with many a fear | D |
| For my dear Country many heartfelt sighs | C |
| Among men who do not love her linger here | E |
