When The Wind Is Low Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCBDEDE FEGEHIHI| When the wind is low and the sea is soft | A |
| And the far heat lightning plays | B |
| On the rim of the west where dark clouds nest | C |
| On a darker bank of haze | B |
| When I lean o'er the rail with you that I love | D |
| And gaze to my heart's content | E |
| I know that the heavens are there above | D |
| But you are my firmament | E |
| - | |
| When the phosphor stars are thrown from the bow | F |
| And the watch climbs up the shroud | E |
| When the dim mast dips as the vessel slips | G |
| Through the foam that seethes aloud | E |
| I know that the years of our life are few | H |
| And fain as a bird to flee | I |
| That time is as brief as a drop of dew | H |
| But you are Eternity | I |
