Rhyme Scheme: ABCB DEFE GHIH ABJB

Break break breakA
On thy cold gray stones O SeaB
And I would that my tongue could utterC
The thoughts that arise in meB
-
O well for the fisherman's boyD
That he shouts with his sister at playE
O well for the sailor ladF
That he sings in his boat on the bayE
-
And the stately ships go onG
To their haven under the hillH
But O for the touch of a vanish'd handI
And the sound of a voice that is stillH
-
Break break breakA
At the foot of thy crags O SeaB
But the tender grace of a day that is deadJ
Will never come back to meB

Alfred Lord Tennyson
