In Sark Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCDAC CAC ACEAC| Abreast and ahead of the sea is a crag's front cloven asunder | A |
| With strong sea breach and with wasting of winds whence terror is | B |
| shed | C |
| As a shadow of death from the wings of the darkness on waters that | D |
| thunder | A |
| Abreast and ahead | C |
| - | |
| At its edge is a sepulchre hollowed and hewn for a lone man's bed | C |
| Propped open with rock and agape on the sky and the sea thereunder | A |
| But roofed and walled in well from the wrath of them slept its dead | C |
| - | |
| Here might not a man drink rapture of rest or delight above wonder | A |
| Beholding a soul disembodied the days and the nights that fled | C |
| With splendour and sound of the tempest around and above him and | E |
| under | A |
| Abreast and ahead | C |
