Each Day I See The Long Ships Coming Into Port Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEFGHBIJJKLKM| Each day I see the long ships coming into port | A |
| and the people crowding to their rail glad of the shore | B |
| because to have been alone with the sea and not to have known | C |
| of anything happening in any crowded way | D |
| and to have heard no other voice than the crooning sea's | E |
| has charmed away the old rancours and the great winds | F |
| have search'd and swept their hearts of the old irksome thoughts | G |
| so to their freshen'd gaze each land smiles a good home | H |
| Why envy I seeing them made gay to greet the shore | B |
| Surely I do not foolishly desire to go | I |
| hither and thither upon the earth and grow weary | J |
| with seeing many lands and peoples and the sea | J |
| but if I might some day landing I reck not where | K |
| have heart to find a welcome and perchance a rest | L |
| I would spread the sail to any wandering wind of the air | K |
| this night when waves are hard and rain blots out the land | M |
