Ingratitude Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABAB CBCBCB DBDBEB| Full on the wave the moonlight weeps | A |
| To quiet its weary breast | B |
| Cruelly cold the mad wave leaps | A |
| With the moonshine on its crest | B |
| Or with scowl or growl to the shore it creeps | A |
| And sinks to its selfish rest | B |
| - | |
| Full on yon man brute smiles the wife | C |
| To gladden his turbid breast | B |
| Savagely stern he seeks the life | C |
| Where he erewhile sought for zest | B |
| With a curse or worse he ends the strife | C |
| And sinks to his drunken rest | B |
| - | |
| Sea has the moon no charms for thee | D |
| That can touch thy cruel breast | B |
| Man cannot woman's charity | D |
| Give ease to thy soul oppressed | B |
| Thou shalt flee O sea the moon's witchery | E |
| Till man has his final rest | B |
