High Surf Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCBCDEBB FGFHHIJGKI| Loud as the Trump that made the mortised walls | A |
| Of Jericho to tremble and lean and sway | B |
| The voice of ocean sweeps this granite verge | C |
| The cormorants today | B |
| Black diving through the falling walls of serge | C |
| Float not too near the rocks | D |
| And smoky white haired phantoms ride the long spined rollers | E |
| Curving across the bay | B |
| From gulfs that round Cipango arc Cathay | B |
| - | |
| For me | F |
| Who stand enchanted and exalt | G |
| Seized up into a short eternity | F |
| No anger and no sorrow that men feign | H |
| Informs the risen main | H |
| I here alone the impassable roar | I |
| Of years and centuries and cycles rolling | J |
| Under that solar and galactic vault | G |
| Over the cliffs and cities over the mountains | K |
| From shore to crumbing shore | I |
