The Sea Shell Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABAB CDCD EFEF CGCH| 'Tis a dainty shell 'tis a fragile shell | A |
| At my feet that the wild waves threw | B |
| And I send it thee that its lips may tell | A |
| In thine ear that my heart is true | B |
| - | |
| It will tell thee how by the sunlit sea | C |
| Pass the hours we were wont to share | D |
| On its pearl pink lips is a kiss for thee | C |
| That my own loving lips placed there | D |
| - | |
| In a lady's hand it will snugly lie | E |
| 'Tis as thin as a red rose leaf | F |
| Yet it holds the seagull's sorrowing cry | E |
| And the roar of the tide lashed reef | F |
| - | |
| In its ivory cave though the mighty sea | C |
| May find room and to spare to move | G |
| Yet this same sea shell that I send to thee | C |
| Is too small to contain my love | H |
