At Sea Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABAB BAB ABAB| 'Farewell and adieu' was the burden prevailing | A |
| Long since in the chant of a home faring crew | B |
| And the heart in us echoes with laughing or wailing | A |
| Farewell and adieu | B |
| - | |
| Each year that we live shall we sing it anew | B |
| With a water untravelled before us for sailing | A |
| And a water behind us that wrecks may bestrew | B |
| - | |
| The stars of the past and the beacons are paling | A |
| The heavens and the waters are hoarier of hue | B |
| But the heart in us chants not an all unavailing | A |
| Farewell and adieu | B |
