The Sea Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBACDEFED| Ere Greece soared showering sovranties of light | A |
| Ere Rome shook earth with her tremendous tread | B |
| Ere yon blue feasting sun god burst blood red | B |
| Beneath thee slept thy prodigy O Night | A |
| Aeons have ta'en like dreams their strange slow flight | A |
| And vastest tiniest creatures paved her bed | B |
| E'en cities sapped by the usurping spread | B |
| Of her imperious waves have sunk from sight | A |
| Since she first chanted her colossal psalms | C |
| That swell and sink beneath the listening stars | D |
| Oft as with myriad drums beating to arms | E |
| She thunders out the grandeur of her wars | F |
| Then shifts through moaning moods her wizard charms | E |
| Of slow flutes and caressing gay guitars | D |
