Docks Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: ABCDBE FBGHBBHBHB IIG

Strolling alongA
By the teeming docksB
I watch the ships put outC
Black ships that heave and lungeD
And move like mastodonsB
Arising from lethargic sleepE
-
The fathomed harborF
Calls them not nor daresB
Them to a strain of actionG
But outward on and outwardH
Sounding low reverberating callsB
Shaggy in the half lit distanceB
They pass the pointed headlandH
View the wide far lifting wildernessB
And leap with cumulative speedH
To test the challenge of the seaB
-
PlungingI
Doggedly onward plungingI
Into salt and mist and foam and sunG

Carl Sandburg
