Near Dover, September 1802 Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAACCADEDDED| Inland within a hollow vale I stood | A |
| And saw while sea was calm and air was clear | B |
| The coast of France the coast of France how near | B |
| Drawn almost into frightful neighbourhood | A |
| I shrunk for verily the barrier flood | A |
| Was like a lake or river bright and fair | C |
| A span of waters yet what power is there | C |
| What mightiness for evil and for good | A |
| Even so doth God protect us if we be | D |
| Virtuous and wise Winds blow and waters roll | E |
| Strength to the brave and Power and Deity | D |
| Yet in themselves are nothing One decree | D |
| Spake laws to 'them' and said that by the soul | E |
| Only the Nations shall be great and free | D |
