Where Lies The Land To Which The Ship Would Go? Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABB CCAA DDEE AABBWhere lies the land to which the ship would go | A |
Far far ahead is all her seamen know | A |
And where the land she travels from Away | B |
Far far behind is all that they can say | B |
- | |
On sunny noons upon the deck's smooth face | C |
Link'd arm in arm how pleasant here to pace | C |
Or o'er the stern reclining watch below | A |
The foaming wake far widening as we go | A |
- | |
On stormy nights when wild north westers rave | D |
How proud a thing to fight with wind and wave | D |
The dripping sailor on the reeling mast | E |
Exults to bear and scorns to wish it past | E |
- | |
Where lies the land to which the ship would go | A |
Far far ahead is all her seamen know | A |
And where the land she travels from Away | B |
Far far behind is all that they can say | B |
