Miscellaneous Sonnets, 1842 - Vi - Concluded Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBABCDBCD| Long favoured England be not thou misled | A |
| By monstrous theories of alien growth | B |
| Lest alien frenzy seize thee waxing wroth | B |
| Self smitten till thy garments reek dyed red | A |
| With thy own blood which tears in torrents shed | A |
| Fail to wash out tears flowing ere thy troth | B |
| Be plighted not to ease but sullen sloth | B |
| Or wan despair the ghost of false hope fled | A |
| Into a shameful grave Among thy youth | B |
| My Country if such warning be held dear | C |
| Then shall a Veteran's heart be thrilled with joy | D |
| One who would gather from eternal truth | B |
| For time and season rules that work to cheer | C |
| Not scourge to save the People not destroy | D |
William Wordsworth
