Docks Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCDBE FBGHBBHBHB IIGStrolling along | A |
By the teeming docks | B |
I watch the ships put out | C |
Black ships that heave and lunge | D |
And move like mastodons | B |
Arising from lethargic sleep | E |
- | |
The fathomed harbor | F |
Calls them not nor dares | B |
Them to a strain of action | G |
But outward on and outward | H |
Sounding low reverberating calls | B |
Shaggy in the half lit distance | B |
They pass the pointed headland | H |
View the wide far lifting wilderness | B |
And leap with cumulative speed | H |
To test the challenge of the sea | B |
- | |
Plunging | I |
Doggedly onward plunging | I |
Into salt and mist and foam and sun | G |
