Waiting Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEF GHIJK LCMNOPQC| Today I will let the old boat stand | A |
| Where the sweep of the harbor tide comes in | B |
| To the pulse of a far deep steady sway | C |
| And I will rest and dream and sit on the deck | D |
| Watching the world go by | E |
| And take my pay for many hard days gone I remember | F |
| - | |
| I will choose what clouds I like | G |
| In the great white fleets that wander the blue | H |
| As I lie on my back or loaf at the rail | I |
| And I will listen as the veering winds kiss me and fold me | J |
| And put on my brow the touch of the world's great will | K |
| - | |
| Daybreak will hear the heart of the boat beat | L |
| Engine throb and piston play | C |
| In the quiver and leap at call of life | M |
| To morrow we move in the gaps and heights | N |
| On changing floors of unlevel seas | O |
| And no man shall stop us and no man follow | P |
| For ours is the quest of an unknown shore | Q |
| And we are husky and lusty and shouting gay | C |
