Greenock Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBACDCEDE| 'We' have not passed into a doleful City | A |
| We who were led to day down a grim dell | B |
| By some too boldly named the Jaws of Hell | B |
| Where be the wretched ones the sights for pity | A |
| These crowded streets resound no plaintive ditty | A |
| As from the hive where bees in summer dwell | B |
| Sorrow seems here excluded and that knell | B |
| It neither damps the gay nor checks the witty | A |
| Alas too busy Rival of old Tyre | C |
| Whose merchants Princes were whose decks were thrones | D |
| Soon may the punctual sea in vain respire | C |
| To serve thy need in union with that Clyde | E |
| Whose nursling current brawls o'er mossy stones | D |
| The poor the lonely herdsman's joy and pride | E |
