Midnight Beach Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBBA CDDDC EAAAA EFFFE AEEEA| In starlight by the ghostly sea | A |
| We ran we loitered hand in hand | B |
| Along the lone unending strand | B |
| Where flowing in the surf wet sand | B |
| The wan stars raced or paused as we | A |
| - | |
| Aloof we seemed from time and change | C |
| Like runes a magian might unroll | D |
| Upon some old unfading scroll | D |
| Or phantoms loosed from earthly dole | D |
| In starry freedom lone and strange | C |
| - | |
| Some great unspoken gramarie | E |
| Had exorcised that incubus | A |
| The world that fell away from us | A |
| Reborn and dear and perilous | A |
| The past arose beside the sea | A |
| - | |
| Returning in that mystic hour | E |
| Above us hovered many a night | F |
| That had your eyes alone for light | F |
| Full petaled past all worldly blight | F |
| Love bloomed an amaranthine flower | E |
| - | |
| In starlight by the ghostly sea | A |
| I caught and kissed you as of yore | E |
| We ran we tarried as before | E |
| Where flowing on the surf wet shore | E |
| The wan stars raced or paused as we | A |
