Iona - Upon Landing Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAACCADEEDED| How sad a welcome To each voyager | A |
| Some ragged child holds up for sale a store | B |
| Of wave worn pebbles pleading on the shore | B |
| Where once came monk and nun with gentle stir | A |
| Blessings to give news ask or suit prefer | A |
| Yet is yon neat trim church a grateful speck | C |
| Of novelty amid the sacred wreck | C |
| Strewn far and wide Think proud Philosopher | A |
| Fallen though she be this Glory of the west | D |
| Still on her sons the beams of mercy shine | E |
| And hopes perhaps more heavenly bright than thine | E |
| A grace by thee unsought and unpossest | D |
| A faith more fixed a rapture more divine | E |
| Shall gild their passage to eternal rest | D |
