From The Shore Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: ABCCC CCDEFGHC EIJK

A lone gray birdA
Dim dipping far flyingB
Alone in the shadows and grandeurs and tumultsC
Of night and the seaC
And the stars and stormsC
-
Out over the darkness it wavers and hoversC
Out into the gloom it swings and battersC
Out into the wind and the rain and the vastD
Out into the pit of a great black worldE
Where fogs are at battle sky driven sea blownF
Love of mist and rapture of flightG
Glories of chance and hazards of deathH
On its eager and palpitant wingsC
-
Out into the deep of the great dark worldE
Beyond the long borders where foam and driftI
Of the sundering waves are lost and goneJ
On the tides that plunge and rear and crumbleK
