On Entering Douglas Bay, Isle Of Man Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAACDAEFEGHI| The feudal Keep the bastions of Cohorn | A |
| Even when they rose to check or to repel | B |
| Tides of aggressive war oft served as well | B |
| Greedy ambition armed to treat with scorn | A |
| Just limits but yon Tower whose smiles adorn | A |
| This perilous bay stands clear of all offense | C |
| Blest work it is of love and innocence | D |
| A Tower of refuge built for the else forlorn | A |
| Spare it ye waves and lift the mariner | E |
| Struggling for life into its saving arms | F |
| Spare too the human helpers Do they stir | E |
| 'Mid your fierce shock like men afraid to die | G |
| No their dread service nerves the heart it warms | H |
| And they are led by noble Hillary | I |
William Wordsworth
