The Barren Shore Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABBCCBBDDBBEEBBFFBB| Full many sing to me and thee | A |
| Their riches gather'd by the sea | A |
| But I will sing for I'm footsore | B |
| The burthen of the barren shore | B |
| The hue of love how lively shown | C |
| In this sole found cerulean stone | C |
| By twenty leagues of ocean roar | B |
| O burthen of the barren shore | B |
| And these few crystal fragments bright | D |
| As clear as truth as strong as right | D |
| I found in footing twenty more | B |
| O burthen of the barren shore | B |
| And how far did I go for this | E |
| Small precious piece of ambergris | E |
| Of weary leagues I went threescore | B |
| O burthen of the barren shore | B |
| The sand is poor the sea is rich | F |
| And I I am I know not which | F |
| And well it were to know no more | B |
| The burthen of the barren shore | B |
