Chasers Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDEFD GHIAJK| THE SEA at its worst drives a white foam up | A |
| The same sea sometimes so easy and rocking with green mirrors | B |
| So you were there when the white foam was up | A |
| And the salt spatter and the rack and the dulse | B |
| You were done fingering these and high higher and higher | C |
| Your feet went and it was your voice went 'Hai hai hai ' | D |
| Up where the rocks let nothing live and the grass was gone | E |
| Not even a hank nor a wisp of sea moss hoping | F |
| Here your feet and your same singing 'Hai hai hai ' | D |
| - | |
| Was there anything else to answer than 'Hai hai hai ' | - |
| Did I go up those same crags yesterday and the day before | G |
| Scruffing my shoe leather and scraping the tough gnomic stuff | H |
| Of stones woven on a cold criss cross so long ago | I |
| Have I not sat there watching the white foam up | A |
| The hoarse white lines coming to curve foam slip back | J |
| Didn't I learn then how the call comes 'Hai hai hai' | K |
