Supplication Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AB CD EF GHThe sea took a sailor to its depths | A |
His mother unsuspecting goes and lights | B |
- | |
a tall candle before the Virgin Mary | C |
for his speedy return and for fine weather | D |
- | |
and always she turns her ear to the wind | E |
But while she prays and implores | F |
- | |
the icon listens solemn and sad | G |
knowing that the son she expects will no longer return | H |
