Becalmed Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBA CDDCEE| The flag is listless limp It dances not | A |
| As deep the sea breathes from a gentle breast | B |
| As any bride who dreams at love's behest | B |
| And wakes and sighs then casts with dreams her lot | A |
| Sails hang upon the masts useless forgot | A |
| Like folded standards which the warriors wrest | B |
| And bring home broken from the battle's crest | B |
| The sailors rest them in some sheltered spot | A |
| - | |
| O Sea within your unknown deeps concealed | C |
| When storms are wild your monsters dream and sleep | D |
| And all their cruelty for the sunlight keep | D |
| Thus Soul of Mine in your sad deeps concealed | C |
| The monsters sleep when wild are storms They start | E |
| From out some blue sky's peace to seize my heart | E |
