Sunrise On The Coast Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCD EFGF CHHH| Grey dawn on the sand hills the night wind has drifted | A |
| All night from the rollers a scent of the sea | B |
| With the dawn the grey fog his battalions has lifted | A |
| At the call of the morning they scatter and flee | B |
| Like mariners calling the roll of their number | C |
| The sea fowl put out to the infinite deep | D |
| And far overhead sinking softly to slumber | C |
| Worn out by their watching the stars fall asleep | D |
| - | |
| To eastward where rests the broad dome of the skies on | E |
| The sea line stirs softly the curtain of night | F |
| And far from behind the enshrouded horizon | G |
| Comes the voice of a God saying Let there be light | F |
| - | |
| And lo there is light Evanescent and tender | C |
| It glows ruby red where 'twas now ashen grey | H |
| And purple and scarlet and gold in its splendour | H |
| Behold 'tis that marvel the birth of a day | H |
