Elegiacs Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEAFGHIEEFAAJAJB EF| Wearily stretches the sand to the surge and the surge to the cloudland | A |
| Wearily onward I ride watching the water alone | B |
| Not as of old like Homeric Achilles de ya | C |
| Joyous knight errant of God thirsting for labour and strife | D |
| No more on magical steed borne free through the regions of ether | E |
| But like the hack which I ride selling my sinew for gold | A |
| Fruit bearing autumn is gone let the sad quiet winter hang o'er me | F |
| What were the spring to a soul laden with sorrow and shame | G |
| Blossoms would fret me with beauty my heart has no time to bepraise them | H |
| Gray rock bough surge cloud waken no yearning within | I |
| Sing not thou sky lark above even angels pass hushed by the weeper | E |
| Scream on ye sea fowl my heart echoes your desolate cry | E |
| Sweep the dry sand on thou wild wind to drift o'er the shell and the sea | F |
| weed | A |
| Sea weed and shell like my dreams swept down the pitiless tide | A |
| Just is the wave which uptore us 'tis Nature's own law which condemns us | J |
| Woe to the weak who in pride build on the faith of the sand | A |
| Joy to the oak of the mountain he trusts to the might of the rock clefts | J |
| Deeply he mines and in peace feeds on the wealth of the stone | B |
