Iona Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCDABACEFFGEG| On to Iona What can she afford | A |
| To 'us' save matter for a thoughtful sigh | B |
| Heaved over ruin with stability | C |
| In urgent contrast To diffuse the WORD | D |
| Thy Paramount mighty Nature and Time's Lord | A |
| Her Temples rose 'mid pagan gloom but why | B |
| Even for a moment has our verse deplored | A |
| Their wrongs since they fulfilled their destiny | C |
| And when subjected to a common doom | E |
| Of mutability those far famed Piles | F |
| Shall disappear from both the sister Isles | F |
| Iona's Saints forgetting not past days | G |
| Garlands shall wear of amaranthine bloom | E |
| While heaven's vast sea of voices chants their praise | G |
